Day 2 - Working towards running

Yesterday morning was more about satisfacation than just a happy moment.  And it was the satisfaction that made me smile and feel wonderful!  About a month ago I decided I wanted to run a 5K before the end of the summer.  I AM NOT a runner!  Never have been, never thought I could be.  That was until I began taking a "boot camp" class in February.  The instructor made me run.  And to my surprise I did it!  I ran!  A lot!  Then, the boot camp no longer fit into my schedule and my frustration with my jean size was mounting.  I decided I was actually going to try and run.  I began the first week of May and was imediately sidelined with a terrible cold that turned into an ear infection and brocitics.  No running for me.  Then vacation.  Really?  I'm not running on vacation : )

So, now that I am healthy and back to my normal routine, I've started working on running again.  I started with walking for 30 minutes and running in 2 minute intervals.  Yesterday, I moved up to 3 minute intervals.  PROGRESS!!!!  And I ran UP A HILL!!!!  Yes, up a hill.  I never thought I could do this, and I am.  Major satisfaction.  Major happy!!!!
