Amazing Running Week

Today was day 2 of running with the Garmin outside.  I better prepared myself today though.  I wore my cold weather shirt hubby got me for Christmas, as well as my new running gloves (also a gift from hubby).  I always fear that I'll be cold, so I wore a jacket over the running shirt.  Apparently, I didn't need that.  LOL!  Ah well, live and learn, right?

Parked at the same spot as Tuesday, got out and headed off.  I ran a little slower than Tuesday, but that's ok.  I took the same route, but the way the neighborhood is, I could have varied it up a bit.  It's good to know though.  Tuesday, I took a small half block walking break before running again.  I hit the 2.5 mile mark and stopped since that was my goal for the day.  I was a tad bit far from the car at that point, so when I got to the end of the block, I decided to see if I could run back to the car.  I did and hence Tuesday's 3.12 mile run. 

Well, today I am proud to say I ran the WHOLE time, no walks.  Made it up the hill that KILLED on Tuesday and kept going.  I was aiming for 3.5 miles, which is actually Sat.'s run goal, but I figured 3 on Tuesday wasn't so bad, I could aim for 3.5.  Well, I hit it and then some!  I ended up with 4 miles, all under an hour.  I know to most people that's really slow, and it is, but I was happy with it.  Especially since this means I'm WAY ahead of my running schedule!  Woohoo!  I think Sat. I'll stick to a 4 mile run and then up the mileage next week.  Not too shabby for not having run much in the last several months.

Tomorrow is weigh-in.  Wish me luck.  I am positive I've lost, just not sure how much.
