Week 3 Day 1

Yep, I did it! Today I started Week 3 of the C25K training program! I survived, it sucked!

Pleasure and Pain will walk hand in hand
No place to run take it all day by day
what it takes
what it makes
let it breathe
celebrate
I'm down on my tail
but I'm up and I can feel it again
angel wings unfold
and the devil sitting
moaning all alone
I've been down
but I'm back
in the magic zone!
~Volbeat

I do love that band!!!  Let me just say that today those "angel wings" that unfold, well they carried me the last 45 seconds of my second 3 minute run!!! This was hard! And for a second or two I could feel self doubt starting to creep her ugly head in the door again, but I slammed that door in her face, I listened to the words of this song "take it all day by day" that's what I have to do, just keep taking it day by day. And that's "what it takes, and what it makes", well hopefully what it makes is a 5K running machine!!! Pleasure and Pain do have to walk{or jog} hand in hand becuz without the pain I wouldn't truly appreciate the pleasure.
The other song that has been a driving force for me the last few runs??? Another Volbeat song... I realize that they wrote this song for a Danish fighter, named Mikkel Kessler, I'm not a fighter, or a warrior, or a viking, and I'm also NOT Danish, but I like to ignore that part, it's all good.  The theme of the song is more important than the exact details. Becuz if I'm gonna beat back that crazy bitch called self doubt then maybe what it takes is a fighter, a warrior!!! When I feel her sneaking in, I play this song, that was written for a warrior... but substitute a few words and it was written for me!!!

Warriors Call
Let's get ready to rumble!!!
Feel the fire he's she's entering the ring
His Her mind set only knows how to win
This Danish fighter will break you in two
You will feel all his  her power
The Viking warrior Mikkel Kessler Denise Weatherby will now brand his   her name
on the back of your head
Yeah you feel the floor again
Unleashing his her hell
you will not even hear the bell
Maybe you're strong but you don't stand a chance

Feel the power of the warrior
fight, fight, fight, fight
Let's get ready to rumble
fight, fight, fight, fight

Breaking your record and breaking your bones
Born a warrior with a code
a champion feeding your face with a fist
You will feel all his her power

The Viking warrior Mikkel Kessler Denise Weatherby will now brand his her name

on the back of your head

Yeah you feel the floor again

Unleashing his her hell

you will not even hear the bell

Maybe you're strong but you don't stand a chance

Feel the power of a warrior
fight, fight, fight, fight
Let's get ready to rumble
fight, fight, fight, fight
a gladiators left and hook
Feel the pain tomorrow

Behold here comes the son daughter
Believe it he she was born to be the chosen one
The call is for a warrior
His Her name will echo in the sea and on the ground

And then some repeating of verse... You get the point!! Now that last little verse might be a bit much, I'm certain my name will never echo in the sea and on the ground, but self doubt, she will sure remember who the true warrior is!!! And YES, right now I realize those of you reading this are all thinking I'm a HUGE DORK not a WARRIOR!!! But this is what it takes for me to get through this.  I am terribly out of shape and I'm gonna need to always remember to fight like a warrior, if I'm gonna make it to the end! I'm gonna let the music speak to me and move me! The music has always been there for me, it never fails. It always says the right things, and has gotten me through some tough stuff in the past {I am working on a big post about music actually,I am hoping it's done by the end of the week.} so, if I'm a dork, so be it. I'm gonna be a bad ass 5K running dork!!!
