Yesterday I went shopping for some supplies that Team in Training recommends runners to get. These included: Body Glide for all of my anti-chafing needs, some eyewear keeper on-er things (you know, so you can tighten your glasses onto your head which btw totally work and I kinda want to wear them all the time now even if they aren't as chique as I would hope), and some running socks NOT made out of cotton because as out coach Mama Lisa says: "Cotton is Rotten!"Today was my first pre-training training. I tried to get myself to wake up yesterday to run, but laziness took over and I decided to sleep in. But today I told myself I couldn't chicken out any longer. I was going to run. As you can see above, the run didn't kill me, and I am still smiling. That is always a good sign.
My run/walk took place at the track near my house. I really wanted to see if I could run a mile without stopping, but ended up only making it .75 miles before I stopped for a breather. Pitiful, I know. So I walked the track a couple of times and tried running again, only .5 miles this time. I stayed out for an hour and ended up running 1.25 miles and walking 2.75 miles. Not too shabby, but I really do have a long road ahead of me. My goal for the week is to be able to run mile without stopping by next Sunday.
Over and out.
Today's mileage: 3 miles (walking and running)
