For the Love of Running: Run #2

Run #2
July 7, 2010
2.67miles
35min
Today I ran 8min, walked 5min, ran 8min.  I also had a 5min warmup and cool down.  I was excited that I didn't feel completely like death this time!  In fact, the first half of my run I felt great, the second half is a different story.  I ended up walking twice, but I made myself tack on an extra 2 min run at the end to make up for it!  When I got home I didn't even feel like throwing up, so proud of myself, guess I wasn't anaerobic this time.  I'm nervous for the next run though, it's a 20 min run without stopping.  I think it might be ok though, since I was doing great at the first 8 min mark, but then hit my walk.  Hmm, we'll see.
We spent the rest of the day cleaning up the yard today, we worked out there until 9pm with a little break for dinner.  Needless to say, between that and the run I am EXHAUSTED!!!  I'm going to bed and hoping that I'll be out as soon as I hit the pillow!
I have to say that this blogging thing is working, I had my inner battle this morning about running and what finally got me off the couch was knowing that there are people waiting to see if I make my next installment of my running diary!  So thanks you guys...here's to the next run!

I am soooo proud of you fay! I wish I had the desire to run or work out at all for that matter! I was awesome at working out after I had Penny, but after Hailey, it is a different story. My working out consists of cleaning and chasing after the girls, that counts right? I admire people who take the time to excercise! Keep it up! I know you will! I miss you!

Nice job Fay! Keep it up, and keep blogging about it. I find it's easier to keep a goal if you feel like there's someone you have to report to. Running 8 minutes at a time is amazing for just starting :)
