Finish Line.
Proud!
It’s so WORTH it! I’m telling you, the first time Hubs and I passed that finish like for our first 5K {this will be the second}, it was the GREATEST feeling, feeling SO accomplished, so proud that we pushed below our comfort zone, we pressed on when stopping and sitting down sounded so good, we continued to fight back our thoughts of quitting and finished the 5K race well!
SUCH A GREAT FEELING!
Ahh! I’m SO EXCITED! You have NO idea.
I’m sure I’m going to dream about this {oh yeah, I dreamed about the Bunny Run, like… so much}, I’m a dork… I know 
Soooooo tell me, what makes you feel so accomplished and proud of yourself? What have you done that looking back, you saw how strong you are? Have you ever been critizied or made fun of for doing something that you feel proud of?
yay! your on a racing roll. Good luck. What a nice way for you and hubby to spend time together,
Thanks Kristi! It’s definitely fun, I love that my husband likes it too
What makes me feel accomplished, eh?
When I set out to do something, I see this:
1.goal [start] ——- > 2.results of goal [finish]
But the distance between for the two seems really big sometimes, so I break getting to the goal down into steps. Once I list it out, its fun to see the results of each. Then when I finally do get to the goal, it feels much more satisfying because I didn’t just reach the goal, but I accomplished a bunch of other things along the way.
To answer the question… its not really achieving the goal that makes me feel accomplished [although it is quite gratifying], but rather, I really enjoy seeing how many steps I climbed to get there.
Jen, thats an awesome way of describing it! I love it!
[...] hubs and I have something going on every day this weekend, starting with Saturday morning we’re getting up early and going to run the track at the high school nearby us. I pray for more beautiful weather like we’ve been having, it’s honestly felt like I’ve been living in Sunny California. Hope it’ll stay this way for our 5k on the 30th. [...]
