My Diary

Today, one of those days that remain forever saved in our memory, and will be remembered as the day I reached 18K, just as all the people who accompanied me and the route will be remembered. What did I do this day? I have no words to describe the level of satisfaction achieved, listening to the 18K application, wow, it was tremendous. It has been a process, and only through preparation, and conditioning of my body, and my mind have I achieved it.

Sunday, today I changed my routine, since on Sundays I go very early to mass, but the runners do the long route on Sundays, so today I got up early with my husband to go do the 18K route with the team of runners those we train with.

We go out to the meeting point while it is still very dark, some friends tell us crazy how we are going to get up early on a Sunday to go jogging, but they do not understand this passion, which makes us go to bed early on Saturday where many They go around sharing, or they have some night outings, and even worse, they say they get up at dawn to jog on a Sunday.

While all the team arrived we warmed up a little.

We went out very active to do the 18K route, I entrusted myself to God and I was determined that if I was going to achieve it, I started at a gentle pace of 7:30 minutes x kilometers, and as I added K, and the body was more hot, I lowered the speed, which I maintained for almost the entire route, approximately 6:30 minutes x kilometers. I tell you, it wasn't easy, when I surpassed my highest mark of 12K, the mental work began, more than the physical work that if I was going to achieve it, I encouraged myself, that if I could, I carried my bottle of water and had a drink afterwards. of each kilometer marked after reaching 12K, in this way I felt extra energy to endure the remaining kilometers.

When I heard 17 k on the app, I told myself what's left is nothing, so I enjoyed my last kilometer in a very special way, congratulating myself, I told myself, see, you did it, you didn't give up when my mind started to challenge me, and when I heard the 18K I closed my eyes, breathed, stopped and started walking, my husband was waiting for me very happy because I had achieved it, the whole team congratulated me since it was my first 18K.

And after resting for a while, and enjoying a coffee with the team, we went home, had breakfast, and of course I couldn't miss my Sunday visit to the church, so we got ready and went to mass later. The mass was very beautiful, and it even went better for us because my daughter accompanied us since it was later, and she was already up.

When we returned from church, we prepared a delicious fish soup for lunch, very loaded with vitamins, so after enjoying this soup that helped us replenish our energy due to the jog, we fell but exhausted. The rest was very restorative, we recovered our lost energy.

After resting we got ready, since my daughter had to meet with her classmates to rehearse a dramatization that they would do at senior school. We mothers talked hehehe.
