Last night was my first run OUTDOORS. I have been really good at running two miles a day at the gym. I heard stories how running outdoors is so different, how its nothing compared to on a treadmill...so I took my feet to the test. It was a bit chilly out last night - running downwind was NO PROBLEM but running back home was much harder. The crisp wind against my face and tightness of cold in my throat was anything but fun.
I made it though...I ran 1.5 miles outdoors and didn't die...lol...I didnt stop, I didnt walk...I didnt cry...hahahaha. In fact I felt pretty darn good when I got home. I kinda felt like I was a racer heading for the finish line running back home down my cul de sac.
April 22nd I will be entering my first 5km run. I hope I will be able to run the whole event. I am so proud of myself at how well I have been running and sticking to my program. My goal is to be able to do a half marathon in September. Whether I acheive that goal or not, I am pretty sure by that time rolls around I will be running a lot further and feeling better about myself.
Alas...despite my quest to stay healthier and train well...I still refuse to give up my coca cola....lol
