Runnin in the sun


Due to a little twist in my plans today, I ended up driving near the lake where I first started running. I was in workout clothes because I had planned to hit the treadmill when I got back home. On a whim, I decided to try to run around the lake. Hmmmm....WHAT WAS I THINKING????


I started out strong and died at the 1 mile mark. I ended up walking the last 6 tenths of a mile.
So, after not running for a year and a half due to my last pregnancy and childbirth, I cannot run around that blasted lake!!!!!


But, the positive news is that I ran that mile in 11 minutes. When I first started running several years ago, I couldn't even run a tenth of a mile at a time.
Thus, my great plan to run around the lake was not total failure. I see where my fitness level is. And as my dear husband pointed out, I'm not actually starting at the beginning again.


And, I accomplished my third workout towards my goal. 14 to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah my friend, you're on your way! I love the winton woods lake (I'm guessing that's the one), I especially like to walk it in the snow. No one's there and you HAVE to finish it once you start, there's no way out. Keep it up!
