I set a goal three weeks ago from today that I wanted to run three miles. I was going to accomplish this in a period of a month and a half, but the more I ran the stronger the urge was to accomplish this goal as fast and as strong as I could. AND TODAY I DID IT!!!!!!! I feel so good about myself! I have not felt that I have accomplished a goal in a really long time and so reaching this goal earlier than I planned just put a huge confidence boost on who I am, which I feel I have really needed lately.
I think if anyone was in my head while I was running, trying to make myself push longer and harder, they would think I was the craziest person in the world.I seriously sit there (actually run there) and put certain people's voices in my head telling me to "Push it Pearce" so that I don't stop. For some reason I have my 7th grade Track coach MR BENZIE as one of them. Wow he was a mean Cowboy, but he has helped out! Then i have Dan in my head telling me that "Pride lasts forever Lacy!" IT SO DOES BABE! Then I make up some characters, I know crazy, but hey I AM RUNNING THREE MILES! So I don't care who is in my head, as long as I am pushing myself.
Now I am empowered to ROAR like an Independent Woman (yes sometimes I have Destiny's Child in my head as well). YEAH YEAH YEAH! I don't know what is next for me, but I might just take over the world with all this empowerment I have received off of accomplishing this goal. CAN I GET A BOO-YAH?!?!?!?!?!
