Running Day 2 (Journey from being a Couch Potato to Running a 5 K)

When my husband started running last year he would come home and tell me how relaxing it was. I thought he was crazy! How could running 3 or 4 miles, sweating profusely, and cramping be relaxing? I got a taste of what he was talking about last night. I'm still only at 1 mile, and that's walking half of it, but being outdoors and seeing the beautiful colors of the sunset WAS so relaxing - even though I was sweating profusely and cramping!

I feel as though I am breaking through barriers in my life. Things I never thought or even cared to do. I was sharing w/ Sean this morning that not one time in my entire life have I ever ran 2 miles. To think that in a few short weeks I could possibly be doing that is awesome to me! I know I am still at the "exciting" stage, and that it's ONLY day 2, but I have made a commitment to do this, and write about it, and so today I am excited of the possibilities.
