I have decided to become a Jedi

Last Tuesday I finished off another set of miles to complete 13.11 and earn another medal.  I have been anxious to open the first medal of the Jedi Training Academy set and add it to my wall.  Full Medal Runs offers a set of 4 medals that are Jedi themed.  You start with Jedi Initiate followed by Jedi Padawan.  I also have this medal waiting in a mailer for me to earn it.  The last two medals are Jedi Master and Jedi Quest.  Being a fantasy and gaming nerd, this medal set really appealed to me.  Full Medal Runs seems to cater to the Sci-fi nerds.  They also have a selection of Star Trek medals as well as various Star Wars themes.  I am really impressed with their selection and quality.

I proved to myself that virtual runs are good motivation for me.  It was very hot last week, but I pushed myself to get in my miles so I could feel the joy of opened that mailer and putting the medal around me neck.  Work will not be as crazy and hectic after this next week.  I hope to get back to eating better and working hard every week on being active like I was in the spring.

I also realized last week that walking 2 miles isn't a big challenge for me anymore.  I'm going to have to step up my game.  Either the miles to earn each medal will need to be higher or I will have to walk a certain distance each time.  It was a great feeling to realize that my legs no longer ache and my lower back doesn't both me.  I may not see the big changes yet, but the small changes are proof that I'm on the right path.
