What a blessing Rose was to me this morning. She was my walk/jog partner. Today's workout was walk 4 minutes, then jog or run for 6 minutes, then repeat for 1 hour. When we began our first 6 minute jog I did not think I could make it. However, Rose reassured me that I could and to keep going. Well, I kept going, but slowed my pace a bit. Surprisingly, I was able to complete the 6 minutes, even if I was going at a turtle speed, my legs were still jogging. The 4 minutes of walk time sure went by so fast though!
With Rose's encouragement and her willingness to go slow to be with me, I was able to complete all 5 of the 6 minute segments. The last segment we only jogged 3 minutes, then walk 3 minutes to cool down. I know I would not have been able to complete this on my own today. However, NOW I KNOW I can go longer than I think I can. I am so proud of this accomplishment today. I have not jogged 6 minutes straight in years. At work this morning, my legs felt sore, which means I had a great workout. Thanks again Rose!!
