Day 6 - The First Run!

Man alive...I'm tired!

Got up for 6am. Not really knowing how to dress for the 34 degree run. I decided for sweats and a long john top with one of my Glory to God tees from Musicon.

Stretched, glass of water, and a spoonful of PB to start. I decided to get through twice around my block, in intervals of walking and jogging. I started off jogging to get my heart rate up, and I soon learned...I HAVE ALOT OF WORK TO DO!! Couple of minutes in I was walking. My block is a large block with slight inclines and drops, nice run, however...I walked most of it. I got back home really winded. I realize I have so much to do. I have to take advantage of these mildly cold mornings outside before winter really sets in. Plus, I don't have a gym yet.

Watched the biggest loser last night, and the four finalist ran/jogged a Marathon. If they can do a Marathon, and I'm giving myself over 180 days to train for a half, I think I can do it. 13.1 Miles...here I come. Just need to work on jogging my block now. :)

Thanks to the website www.mapmyrun.com I found out my block is exactly .5 miles. I did it twice and so that's a mile. My goal then will be to run my block 27 times before the half in preparation. :)
