So I have been running now since April, and I am feeling pretty good about it. I've had my friend Jackie since the beginning - who started me on this running rampage - and we have committed ourselves to running two times a week. Recently my cousin Stephanie started running with me on Friday Mornings, so I am very excited that I'm committed to 3 long runs a week (meaning at least 5 miles). I try to go out on my own, but it's always nice to have someone - especially to keep you going.
Today Jackie and I set out on our run, and of course the first mile or so was really hard. The second loop we made, I tripped mid sentence over some netting that was supposed to keep the streets clean hitting my hands and my knees. I sucked it up and we kept going. Jackie had done a 37 mile bike ride earlier that day, so she was trying to get to the end of our run.
We did it though, and ran(almost) all 9 miles that we wanted to. Next week I have a 10K, and then two weeks is my 1/2 marathon. Hopefully I can complete that, and I think that will make me the most happy. Doing something that I didn't think was possible only 5 short months ago.
