Hellooooo!

Helloooo, it's me, the long lost blogger. Yes, I'm still here, and still running!

Went to the beach this past weekend and I got a run in, at the beach, that has never happened before! Granted, it was probably only about a mile but it still happened that's what counts!

This past week I hit a milestone that was pretty exciting for me. I ran for a 1/2 mile straight, no stopping to break, no slowing down. I know, to some people that's nothing, but when you're doing the running, and you're used to measuring yourself by time, 2 min run 2 min walk, measuring yourself in distance is a whole new ball game. Running a 1/2 mile straight actually equalled about 5.5 min of straight running. I was pretty proud of myself, getting closer and closer to running that full, non-stop mile without feeling like my lungs are going to explode out of my chest. With the 1/2 mile run and the combination of walking and running the other 1/2 mile I managed to get in an 11 min mile that day. Not great, but not bad.

One thing is for sure. I need to get myself on a much better schedule and stick to it, I'm having a big problem with that. I know what it is that's holding me back, unfortunately, there's not much I can do to change that, but there are ways I can work around it, it's just going to take some discipline on my part, but I'll get there.
