I went on my first run today. Accordingl to my schedule I start out running 2 miles (this is suppose to include a cool down, but I went ahead and ran 2 miles and walked .4 miles to calm down. Right now I have 2 courses (one is 1.3 miles and the other is .4 miles). That is a start. I'll get some longer courses together later.
It felt good. it was about 50 degrees outside. Perfect temperature. The time will come when I'll be running when it is cold, very cold. This winter. I will have to run rain, snow, sleet or shine.
I haven't got the running shoes yet. I'll need to get those soon before I start running more distance.
I didn't keep up with how long the 2 miles took me for a reason. It felt pretty good running it. I basically had a quick job. I'll worry about time later. My main focus is to go the distance as necessary.
I had Heather take a picture of me for my first day. I'll have Heather take a picture of me the last run and the actual marathon.
