5 miles!

I hit the five mile mark last week and TODAY I get to do 5.5 miles! (increments of .5 every week :)

5 was super hard for me.... I got bored and wanted to stop.

But it helped that once I reached 2.5 miles-- or half-way, I knew that I had only had that much more to do... and by the time I was at 4.0 miles, I just focused on doing 0.1 miles at a time (either by counting steps, or by rotating between hands on or hands off the treadmill. ha).

And it helped!

Hopefully I can keep going to get 5.5 today.

Next week, for 6 miles, I am hoping to get the husband to come with me along the beach for the run......:)
