Did that get your attention?? Have you fallen off your seat???
PG = Personal Goal NOT pregnant! whew! that gave me a real scare!
Anyhow, I just wanted to share with my WISH family of supporters that I reached a personal goal this week! I have been jogging three times a week faithfully since May (I think) and this week I jogged a total of 9 miles
woo hoo! this is an accomplishment. Actually if my measurements are 100% accurate, I jogged 9.1 miles, but hey, I'm not that particular
Back in May I was jogging probably 6 or so miles a week and I remember thinking that 9 a week would be alot! Why 9, who knows, but that number has stuck in my mind since. Also noteworthy is that 2 years ago I took up jogging again and trained for a 5 mile Turkey Trot. In which I accomplished, but by the race date I had developed tendonitis in my right foot. Long story but after 3 months of being misdiagnosed with a stress fracture and wearing a fracture walker all that time my ortho doc looked at me and said "Running is not a sport for you."
So that is when I bought a bike and put the thought of jogging as a way of working out behind me. Thanks to good shoes, orthotic inserts, adding distance slowly, and with all the encouragement from my WISH friends, I have proven him wrong!
