Progress?

I want to burn this feeling into my brain. Right now I feel…motivated, inspired, encouraged. I think if I can continue feeling this way, I will work so much more. It feels so good to work out of joy, out of freedom instead of out of obligation and fear. If I can capitalize on this feeling, and turn running, eating right, and every other daily discipline it something I want to do, I can only imagine how much I can achieve.

I ran with Kayla (a talented teammate) today. She complimented me on working hard, and thinks that I can keep up with her this season! She think I could even be faster than her.

And Coach said I look good, he said I look “lean,” and like I’ve been running a lot this summer. I could not have imagined a better compliment! My reaction though is to say “oh you just wait! Just wait to see how much weight I can lose, I’ll show you what lean really looks like!” And now I want to go eat…but I need to be careful, cautious, I need to stack good week on top of good week. Consistency is key. Jesus, help me. I can do nothing on my own, but with you all things are possible.
