I'm always up for a challenge and when the question was asked.....can you run a mile yet? I thought, I sure think so. So I was determined all day at work.....I'm going home and I'm going to run a mile straight. So I got home, got my shoes on and downstairs I went. Stretched out a little...put my Ipod on and away I went. I got to 8 minutes and had to stop....killer shin splints. (Some days I get them, some days I don't.) So I walked for a minute and then started running again. I had to stop one more time for a minute.....but I finished a mile off with MOSTLY running. Then I did another mile.....alternating running and walking. Tonight I felt like I did the most running I've done......so I'm good with that. I didn't quite make my mile of straight running....but that will come soon!
And it's 4:50 and I've already got my 10K steps in!
We're babysitting for my 1 1/2 yr old nephew this weekend (half sister Sarah's son).....so I'm sure I won't have any problem getting my steps in this weekend! He never stops!!! I'm hoping to still squeeze in a run or two this weekend. And I should try to get up early tomorrow morning too....we'll see how that goes!
Happy Running! Have a good weekend.
