I want to cry...

tears of joy! I went and "pounded the pavement" today.

I ran today a full mile without stopping once for the first time in my adult life! I also ran another mile but it was a walk/run intervals and did more running than walking.

I knew I had the cardio strength to do it, but I wasn't sure about my legs (i.e. calves/shins). I did it! I had a little bit of shin pain at the end, but I stretched very well and I do not have any pain in my shins this evening.

The one side effect I have from my run is windburn in my eyes. It was cold and windy today. I didn't realized it had affected them till I saw them in the mirror and they have been burning since my shower.

I have 2 weeks until the 5K Scout Marathon. I hope to be able to run the entire thing. My new mantra is "Just keep jogging, just keep jogging..." LOL

So...today's short stats are:

Miles: 2 Calories: 193

I did take my arm's inches cause I thought they looked smaller. I've been working on them with weights. They are smaller!


R Arm: Was: 13 Now: 12
L Arm: Was: 12 1/2 Now: 12

With a total loss of 1 1/2 inches off my arms this month!


Tomorrow I plan to be a gym rat after my son's pinewood derby. Hope he get's first place! :)
