I did it 2 days Late


So I finally completed my goal for the month of February, of Completing 3 continuous miles. I started off very well and at a good pace, even with the wind at about 7miles a hour. I still got chased by those mean mean dogs who snip at my heals. And completed my course with a little strain at the end... BUT I FINISHED WITHOUT ONE HESITANT STEP.

It felt really good. I actually almost kept going but decided not to because of time constraints.

I really need to find another path, both 3 miles and a good 5 mile so that:
A.) I'm not bothered by those dogs that want to eat me.
B.) Can focus on my March Goal of a Continuous 5 miles.

We will see.

Remember to click the adds by google for me... It really does help me out.

I Want to Go Fast


So a few days ago I went for a short run and took my brother with me to time my progress; helping me with my pacing. I ran 4 400s in 8 mins. That is pretty good for me being as out of shape as I am. I would like to get that down to 7 mins but I'm not going to focus on that goal for a while.

I havn't ran a long distance in a while. I will probably go later on today after I wake up and get going. I also have been watching what im eating; maybe that will help.

First Time in a While


History Lesion: I am not a strong swimmer. Nor a strong runner. Last year I was geared up to run a marathon but was unable to get close to running one. I ended up running over 250 miles in training in one pair of shoes.

This year I plan on running more miles although I am not sure if I am going to try for the marathon again.

I need new shoes. ha ha

Anyways today was the first day of my month long adventure. It was a great day to run. The temperature was about 60 degrees outside, sunny and bright. It is winter time so I don't have to worry about snakes or anything... that is always a fear of mine.

I ended up running 2 1/2 miles. My immediate goal is to get to a steady 3 miles by the end of the month. I think that is a good realistic goal, because I know tomorrow will be very difficult.
