I have been bad with writing lately.  I ran Monday night and started week three~ run 3 min. walk 3 min.  I pushed so hard that I made myself sick.  I didn't feel good all day Tuesday, but was better on Wednesday. I went with a friend to a high school track last night.  It was easier to run on for sure, but I don't know exactly how far I went, close to 3 miles I think.  I got quite show~ some lightening and the ghetto birds!! There was a search helicopter literally next street over for a while as I ran(man I live in a great area!)

What was nice was it was how dark it was by 7:30 and I was able to run under the bright moon.  It was really fun.  I pushed myself really hard.  I was able to run for 4 minutes at a time.  I'm sure that doesn't sound like much, but seeing where I was less than a month ago, I'm really happy with the results!!  I'm going again on Friday, not sure where but will definitly go.  I have so much fun.  After going for about 15 minutes I really hit a high and do much better after that. I'm right on track for doing a very nice 5K in October.  Hopefully by the beginning of October I'll be able to run at least a mile without stopping.  I'm able to run just over a quarter mile now. 

Something kind of crazy happened near the end of my run.  My legs started taking over.  They were almost going faster than I could keep up!  The form was happening all by itself, I was able to go further faster.  It was crazy!  My legs went higher and were really pushing forward.  It was really pretty cool!!

I have been taking 2 Ibprofins before running, I'm going to try only 1 on Friday.  I ice my knees when I get home and haven't had any problems yet, so I'm am sooo happy!! I'm really just loving this so much.  There definitly is  a freedom to it. Knowing that not only am I doing something great for my body, but I'm really pushing my limits.  So much of it is mental~ trying to convince myself I can keep going!! It's just wonderful!!!
