3 Miles, finally.
I finally managed to do a full 3 mile run! Well, there was some walking, but nevertheless, I did it. And it took me a good 45 minutes. Having an overly-active ego helps... often when the thought crossed my mind to quit or to walk more, my pride clicked in and got me running again.
I also passed my first weightloss benchmark, so I'm pleased about that. I'm still off of caffeine and sodas and I'm looking forward to a solid week of training....
I had lunch last week with some friends, and one of them has been doing marathons/triathalons for a few years now. It was really good to chat with her about what it's like. Now whenever I see someone running on the street, I watch them very closely and take mental notes. I was watching the world championship track and field events on Sunday. I can tell I'll never be a real marathoner...even when I get to top shape, I'll be about 50lbs too heavy. I'm thinking triathalon's are next on deck after this marathon...
