I am... Kiesha Fierce!

So today my hubby and I hit the 5 mile park trail today for my "long" run. Problem is that I am not at my original fitness level and can't actually run the WHOLE 5 miles.

After the warm up, we set out on a beautiful nature filled jog in 45 degree weather. At first I dreaded every step... Then blazing through my Ipod I hear the clear voice of motivation... Ms. Sasha Fierce herself! From the first beat of "Single Ladies", my stride picked up and it was like I was floating on air. Singing loud and not caring who could hear me. It was like I was Sasha's twin sister... Kiesha Fierce! I envisioned my waist as small as hers and my hips swaying in a body suit as I showed e'rybody why he "put a ring on it"!

Sasha gave Kiesha the motivation to make it through the first 2 miles like it was a day on the beach. I still didn't run the whole 5 miles, but I did alternate walking and running from mile 2.5 to mile 5. So, all and all it was a good day. I finished what I started and found my inner Kiesha Fierce :)
