Today I went for almost 3 miles.  The length wasn't bad, but my timing wasn't great.  But I decided to get the distance before stressing over my speed.  It was really fun today.  I'm understanding why people say they run more for mental reasons than physical.  It just feels great, especially after, I'm so happy after!

It was harder today, my heels were totally dragging the entire time.  I didn't have anything to eat though, I usually eat something a half hour to an hour before going out.  Today I just had a small glass of water.  I won't make that mistake again!!  Even so, when I saw my place as I was coming home, I got this huge smile on my face because I did it!  I went all three times around the block even though it was hard.  I was really impressed with myself.  Really happy with myself~I did something I didn't think I could do.

I have made my first small goal:  a 5K October 18.  So I'm trying to get my length and then go for the speed.  I started the second week of couch potato to 5k this morning.  I jog for 90 sec and walk for 2 minutes.  It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.  It wasn't until after going 2 miles that way that I started to lose steam.  So I walked for about 5 minutes and then jogged home.  I am so happy though; I am doing something that I never thought I could do and I'm doing it rather well.  I am having a lot of fun with it, and feeling better every day.  Sometimes a little sore...but great none the less.  Today my little boy stretched out with me when I got home.  That was really fun to do with him.  He's so cute!!!
