OH YEAH BABY!!!(you can re-read that if you need to because I was JUST AS SHOCKED!!!)
The best run/walk EVER. I was supposed to do 9 miles today but in listening to my body and just getting back into things I am going to stick to the schedule for all miles this week to get back to where I was with the exception of today. My back started to spasm a bit towards the end of mile 5 and I was coming back to the house to do the last 3 with the dog but after I stretched and almost barfed I decided to make the executive decision and not push it too hard.
The breathing is still really hard when I get going I just try to work through it as best I can taking long deep breaths and cheering myself on seems to work! It will come though I just need to be patient.
15 minute MILES!!! WEEHOOO which is a HUGE improvement!!! It felt SO good today. My first 3 miles we strong I even ran 1/2 mile straight in my 3rd mile. I tried to run as much as I walked and it showed.
I AM SO PROUD!! And so excited at the same time!!! Now all I have to do is double that with the same time by marathon time and we are good!lol
One day at a time! Ha ha there were some "real" runners out today covered in mud (we had a huge thunderstorm) and as they ran past me and left me in there dust I just plugged along in hopes that, that WILL be me one day!!
Patience!!
