Pond Run

Today we did the pond run, and I knew the drill. Everytime I do the pond run I set a goal to not stop and keep going at whatever speed I need to do to maintain myself for the whole period without stopping unless its the minute for walking. I started with catia and after gradually building up, I soon left her behind, setting a faster pace. I did fitness independently like always because this was really about me focusing on myself and not worrying about other people. During the pond run, people past me, and I lapped several people too. To me it didn't matter if people thought I was slower than them or was faster than others. What really mattered to me was persevering until the end, keeping a pace that helped me to not stop, but also made me feel a little uncomfortable and want to stop. I'm not a runner and don't like running, I ultimately love the fitness' like 30 on 30 off or like locomotion, but I knew that I needed to surpass my goal for me and a sense of accomplishment. Sure there were times where I wanted to just stop but kept repeating in my head "when in doubt, run it out." and I never stopped when i was supposed to be running, I didn't care if people past me or thought i was slower or faster than them. What really mattered was that I got to my ideal for this class and did it successfully.
