Day 1 & 2 of blog

Day 1:  Saturday, June 2.  Let the running begin!  On Friday we drove around the complex and measured out different distances so I could start running.  I know my 1/4, 1/2, and 1 mile distance points.  It has been YEARS since I have ran so this is going to be fun--I THINK! I got up Saturday morning and decided it was time to just get going so I stretched out, and went for the 1/4 mile not having any idea how far I would actually make it.  I surprised myself!!  I did not make it the whole way but much further than I thought I would.  I had to walk a part of it but that's ok, I ran most of it.  Sunday I did not run.

Day 2:  Monday June 4.  Got up early and stretched out, set out on my 1/4 mile run/jog.  It went ok, had to walk more than I would have liked, need to push harder.  I figured I would take it rather easy this week to get used to running again.  Not quite ready for the spandex thing so I run in lightweight sweats and a t-shirt for now!  My goal is 2-fold.  I have a good friend who is going to walk/run a 5K in West Jordan in September, I told her I would love to do it with her!  So that and to lose some weight.  Weight lose goal is about 15-20 lbs.  I know I can do this and I will!  If I write every day it will help me to keep track of my progress.  Time to get ready for work--Oh did I mention I will be running in the mornings before I go to work?  Well thats when I will be doing my running, getting too hot in the afternoons! :-)
