Hmm Maybe I should get sick more often.  I had my best run today!  Looks like I just might make that 1 mile goal after all.

WOO HOO!!!!! Today a goal was reached!!! I ran a full mile!!!

We went out to the Bike Path today after hitting the Farmer's Market and decided to make Sundays a Longer Run Day. No set plan on how long to run, just as long as we both still felt good enough to keep going. After piecing together all of the jogs, it turns out that I ran a full mile!  So now, that's been added to the daily run - running a full mile, walking two miles.

Today I also did not have any caffeine. (Yeah, that means no Dr. Pepper!)  I don't know when my last caffeine-free day was. Next weekend, maybe I'll go two days without a Dr. Pepper.

Today the wind decided to kick in.  I called it resistance trainging. lol.  It cut our outing short because dust kept blowing into my eyes, and Ness wound up with a nasty sneezing.coughing fit. Plus, I was having trouble catching my breath, and my right leg was hurting.

Ness came up with a mini-goal - next week, jog 1/4 mile at one time. I've been able to do about .15-.20 mile. Time to up the ante!

I enlisted Nessa as my "trainer"  She loves running, so I signed us both up for the race. Her job is to get me in shape for this event, as my major goal is to be able to jog/run one consecutive mile during the 3.1 miles.  My job is to keep her mind on the positive aspects of this race (more about that later.)

I bought a pedometer today that counts my steps and my distance. We're going to use that as a guide to set small goals each week, working up to that one mile mark.

Each day, we'll walk/jog three miles. Here I'll record each day's measurements to see how much I'm (hopefully) progressing.
