Go PEI Learn to Run

I just signed up for the Learn to Run program with Go PEI! 

I had my first little 5 km walk/run, which was walking for 4.5 minutes and running for 1.5 minutes and repeating this for about an hour.

We "ran" all around Brighton and even had some words of encouragement shouted from a patio!  I loved every minute of it.  It was hot....very hot, and it was a definite challenge.  But, by far the best part of the whole event was running along side a great friend and co-worker Kim.  It was a struggle, but she pushed through.  I was there to give her a shove in the right direction when she thought she was going to die.  It was very motivating that she was able to get in the right mind set and allow her self to continue.

The most rewarding part of the evening was seeing the big smile she was trying to hide.  I know she was super happy she was able to conquer this 5 km journey.  The sense of accomplishment was just beaming!  I was and still am so proud of her for pushing through.  Soon enough we will be running the 5 k PEI marathon, only this time with a smile on our faces.

Keep going Kim you are doing Fantastic!!
