Week 17: Back in the Saddle

4-24-12: It's been seven whole days of no exercise. I felt like a beginner almost on the treadmill! I walked 5 minutes to warm up, then ran for 20 minutes, a mile and a half. That was all I had. I've lost TEN minutes of running somewhere! I intend to find it again, soon! My goal is to run 3.1 miles a month from now.

Week 16: Sickness

4-16-12: Ran 2.25 miles AGAIN!! I can do this.

The rest of the week, I didn't run at all because I was sick.

Week 14

4-3-12: Decided to run outside today to change it up. I just LOVE the Island Y's outdoor trail. It's exactly one mile and mostly shaded. I took off and felt great! I ran around the whole entire track, something I could never dream of doing a couple months ago. My goal was to get to 1.75 miles, but I began walking at 1.5 miles. Running outside is a lot harder than running on my treadmill, what with the HEAT and UPHILL parts!! Anyway, I ran four more minutes after a short walking break and felt good about today's run. (2 miles)

4-5-12: Found this article, which is EXACTLY what I was wanting so badly when I started in January! Oh well, at least I've learned all these tips by now myself!  10 Tips for Beginning Runners

4-6-12: I ran outside with Sarah this time, and we ran TWO miles!!! Woohoo!!! (2.25)
