Run, Becky, Run

I've started doing something that I never thought I could do. I'm running.

I don't know why I never thought I could be a runner. I guess I have just always been intimidated by any kind of physical activity. Well, I got myself a good pair of running shoes, and I'm in business!

To avoid injuring myself, I'm taking it pretty easy to start. Yesterday, I alternated walking for 90 seconds and running for 60 seconds. Today, I alternated running and walking for 90 seconds. I made just over the 2 mile mark in 30 minutes.

My goal for the summer is to be able to run 2 miles, without walking.

As Isaiah's beloved trains say, "I think I can! I think I can!"
