It's true! I am faster than my couch.


Yesterday I ran 2 miles. Which was kind of a big deal since I haven't run in a while... it's been a stressful few weeks. It took me a good half hour to run them, with warm up/cool down, but I was pretty proud of myself. When I started running in May I could barely run for 2 minutes solid without stopping/needing an inhaler. I know SOME of that was due to being a mile above sea level, but some was from being just plain out of shape. Now I can run a solid 20 minutes+. I am very proud of me. I'm taking today off because I am sore and exhausted, but tomorrow, I'll be back at the gym (did you think I could run outside in this 5000000* weather? no way!) and I'll run for 25 minutes. Then 30, then 35, and on and on till I am a runner, a skinnier runner.
