Heck Yeah!

I ran today! Whoohoo!

And I didn't just run, I kicked butt! I braved the snow and ice and left my warm and cozy house and hit the roads. The plan was to run 5 miles today according to our little pre-training routine and I think I got to around 4 or 4.5 miles and actually ran almost all of it! This is a big deal for me because I am not a runner. I generally enjoy the idea of running, but while doing it but my endurance is really low and I usually talk myself out of running any farther than I need to. But not today! I slowed my pace to one that I felt I could keep up for the duration of my run and only walked a very small amount. Not to toot my own horn but I say that's some progress from sitting on my couch and eating ice cream like I did last sunday.

Tomorrow I am planning on getting up early and starting my workouts in the gym at work. Tomorrow I am going to cross train by doing either the bicycle or the elliptical with arm strengthening so we will see how that turns out!
