I am not a runner.
I lift.
But, this year one of my goals was to improve my cardio.
I can lift, but if you asked me back in January to run a mile without stopping… that would be a different story 😂
My sister is a runner and I wanted to be able to go for a run with her. And I love being outside in summer, so I decided to give running a go.
I literally started from nowhere.
I remember how hard that first mile without stopping felt back in January.
Today I ran 5K without stopping in 33 minutes 🏃♀️
Maybe not a big deal for some people, but for me it is an achievement because now I can just… run 😂
I am sharing this as a reminder so when you start something new, of course it feels hard. You’re not used to it yet. But the more you practise, the easier it gets.
It is normal.
And don’t worry, I’m not planning to swap lifting for running 😂.
Next one: 8K in Prague 🇨🇿 👀, this time I will be running with my sister.
