WHY NOT PUSH JUST A LITTLE BIT HARDER? (Did a bit more at the gym, day 2)

Ok, so i went in, its day 2 for me at 10gym, and im in the mindset to try to work my way up to a 30 minute walk with no breaks.

So i go in, get on my treadmill and figured out how to manually set the thing to clock down my time.

Set that sucker to 15 minutes. And walked. 

Not 5 minutes in my chest was getting the pang...but i walked through it. Finished that 15 minutes. 

Sat down, rested a few. Asked zack, how can i change the channel on the tv on that treadmill? So he showed me. Cause for what ever reason, if theres something on i dont like looking st...the minutes jyst...draggggggg on...lol

Change it to something i like, and magically, im in some crazy zone and dont even notice how much time is going by, or how much is left. So that tv HAD. To be changed...lol

So i changed the channel and i found a british sitcom on i enjoy at home. Left it on that. On PBS. 

Got back on, manually set the thing to 15 minutes, and walked...chest didnt start up till the last 5 minutes..

Oh! Forgot to mention theres a 5 minute cooldown after you have set the timer. So i actually walked 20 instead oF my timed 15. Last 5 is a slower cooldown pace the machine sets for you based on the speed you have set for yourself. Cause you set that while you walk. Im right now walking at a 2.2rate (whatever that means, lol) 

So, i get off, go rest again, and think...

I wonder...can i do a 20 minute? With no break? 

Nah. Dont try. 

Yeah DO  try! 

Nah, you did your goal, thats enough.

Youll never know if you never try...

Back and forth i heard the chatter in my head.

And another voice broke through asking me...

Why are you making excuses? Just go see! 

So....i got up, set that treadmill to 20 minutes and was done in a flash! Like seriously...have no idea where the heck that 20 went. This Old House was on PBS. And i like the show, and before i knew...i was done. And i had a 5 minute cooldown walk with it too. 

Amazing what you can do when theres something on a tv you like to view...lol

Just as a side note...i walked a mile and a half in that hour. Most ppl could do 4and some extra. 

Yeah, im slow. But ill get there. This is just day 2. 

Considered trying for a 30 minute, but ill be back in there in the am with the kid, so, ill try that in a few hours. 

So, yeah.

Take that self doubt! You suck! Lol
