DAY TWO

Well, today was a HUGE day for reaching my goal. I actually felt what it's like to walk/run 3.1 miles. It was just as hard as I thought it would be. I trained on a treadmill today and while watching regis and kelly I actually ran 3 minutes, walked 2, ran 3, walked 2 for a full 3.1 miles. I wanted to stop more times than I can recall and actually did take a small walk break break for 6 minutes in the middle of mile 2! I met a great girl named "anna the trainer" today, who gave me great insight as to why I SHOULD NOT have eaten that cheesecake that I ate last night....REALLY!!! or the cookie. She said that it just "slows you down". In my mind I truly didn't think I could have moved any slower than I did today. The lady beside me, on treadmill six, was watching a less than motivating lifetime movie and was "cooking with gas" on 5.1 speed and literally had the incline up so far I couldn't put my hand on her....and she was my mother's age....SORRY MOM! Goes to show you it's not about your age, but how "in shape" you actually are. Tomorrow I go back to the gym to work on my "core" which I have not seen in about a year.....seriously. So wish me luck. As I finished my run, the cute young girl next to me on treadmill 4 asked me "WHAT do you think about while you run"? HMMMM. I answered a polite answer "OH just what I need to do today" because I didn't have the heart to tell her that while running my mind was as blank as Jake the Bachelor's and I was just worried about holding in my vomit....seriously. Wish me luck on DAy 3
