Without a doubt I want to be a runner. I see people running while I'm driving every single day, and I always think, I want to be that. I used to be, I want to be now.
Chris and I were driving home from the coast yesterday and were talking about running, I wanted to go from his house, down to Grand Prarie, I was scolded. There is no shoulder and it's dangerous enough to be on the back roads around his house, b/c all the cool kids drive like crazy. He told me Spicer would be better to run on, it's got a shoulder and then some gravel. I finally agreed with a bitter tone. Not sure why, I can't make it far enough for it to even matter!
So we took Spicer to his house to see how far, one way was a mile and a half. I decided that'd be a good goal, maybe this summer I'll make it down and back for a nice 3 miles.
Yesterday we ate junk, junk, and more junk. I felt crummy, and I decided I was going to run, I haven't worked out for about 2.5 weeks and was thinking this would be bad. So I took off. I was excited. I made it all 3 miles without stopping!!!!!!!!!
That's a huge accomplishment for me, I haven't ran three miles nonstop since high school. I haven't a mile off of the treadmill. Whoo hoo!!
I feel good, I know I need to be easy on my knees, and careful on the road. I was glad to see all the drivers gave me PLENTY of room.
So tonight I may try again, my legs are sore, but I might just go to the gym, haven't decided. I am very excited though!!!
