No promises, just a run

Distance: 2 miles
Time: 31 min.

I can't claim that I'm back on track or anything grand like that, but I did get up at 4:30 this morning, and I did get on the treadmill and move my body for 2 miles, and I did do ten minutes of weights on my legs.

I've been a slug for 3-4 weeks. I lost track of the last time I exercised. We got sick, we got busy, we got lazy. Excuses, excuses.

However, I know I feel better when I exercise. I also know that I HATE HATE HATE getting up at 4:30, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting my workout done for the day. It is the best feeling knowing it is not hanging over my head to run on the treadmill at 9:30 at night.

I am starting over with the Couch to 5K program, but I am doing all the running portions at a 6.0 speed. I am trying to condition myself to get used to speed. Or least what passes as speed for me! Ten minute miles is zippy fast for my stubby legs!

Today is Evan's seventh birthday. He got a new bike. He'll get a few more things tonight. This smile says it all.
