And so, at 10am this morning, in dirty shorts and t-shirt, black men's work socks, and shoes that are not only old but also REALLY wrong, I went out and did my first 2/1 walk/run (don't worry, I'm going to a running store tomorrow). I am so proud of myself I'm fit to bust! I completed 10 cycles or 30 minutes. Right now I'm sitting here stinking out loud! I need to shower but I had to stop and write about it first. Tomorrow is the official start of my bike/toning phase of training. I bought a stationary bike but I'm going to get some money out of my savings account and get a cheapo mountain bike for outside training and also cash for good running shoes too! I will be attempting to sign up for 3 local races today that are two months apart. That should keep me motivated through December.

I'm proud of you too! Sometimes the first step is the hardest to take, and you've managed beautifully! Linn

Thanks!

Tomorrow is my second run/walk day and the first time I'll try it in my INSANELY expensive proper running shoes.
