It's just another day but we choose to make it special

I started running in intervals earlier this summer and I have got to say, I hate running. But I do it anyway because it is healthy and I feel better when I accomplish something like increasing my mile minute or my distance. I had been working on my mile for a while now and because I am not up to a level where I can straight up run then entire way I choose to do intervals of walking and running. I have increased my speed of running over time and the amount of time I run. My best time so far is 12:27 for one mile, which hopefully I will get better. But I had been focusing so much on doing one mile then stopping that I decided to push myself to go two miles today. Of course I sacrificed my speed and the time I run in intervals to one minute each so I wouldn't tire myself out too much. And after hitting that one mile I kept telling myself well after the next minute I will just stop here, well when I reach 20 minutes I will just stop. But all in all I kept going and when I reached the last quarter of a mile I bumped up my speed and kept going until I hit two miles. I am pretty pleased with myself and hope I can get better over time. I still hate running. 

On another note, my awesome roommate Brittany sent all of us letters of acceptance to Hogwarts and we received them today. ^_^ She is the best roommate ever. 

Now I must go get boxes for packing up!
