Yesterday was beautiful. Sixty-six degrees, slight breeze. Just enough to wear a layering tank and cotton long-sleeve shirt. I decided it today was the day for my first outdoor run of 2014.
I've been on a treadmill for months! It was time for fresh air.
My small town has a "lap" that is about 4-4.5 miles long. Factor in my driveway and I have about a 5 mile journey. I am so proud and excited to share that my months of running on a treadmill paid off yesterday when I ran 4.5 of the 5 mile jog. It felt so good. SO GOOD.
I of course am sore today, simply because of the difference between running on a cushy treadmill versus pavement. I also don't run on any incline (no need to beef up the calves), so the natural inclines and downhills were exciting and fun to experience.
I still feel like I have so much to do, so much weight to lose, so many goals to accomplish, but this was an exciting breakthrough for me. Now, if I can do it three more times then I will feel like it's not a fluke. lol
Until next time!
