Small Steps

After what I felt was a successful second race, I decided that maybe it was time to see if I could start running again.

On Tuesday I went out in the pouring rain and ran 1 minute/walked 2 minutes for 30 minutes (10 sets). It felt good. So I also did the same on Thursday and today. I am pleased to report that besides some minor aches it felt REALLY GOOD.

So, that being said, it's on to 12 sets of 1 & 1's on Tuesday. I even have hubby making me a play list that will get me through.

I won't lie to you. I have HUGE long term goals in mind here. But I don't want to get ahead of myself and I don't want to push my luck. So, my first long term goal is to actually RUN the Resolution Run on December 31st. I have no speed goals or another PR in mind. I just want to do 10 & 1's and feel good once I finish!

I hope everyone wore their jeans on Friday!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Don't think any dream is too far off or too long-term. You are doing great and you can totally run the next one!

You are so inspiring to be doing all this so close post partum. I always worry that having a child will stop me from being active, and you are a great example to wanna-be moms such as myself!

Definitely agree with Marci's comment!

You're a superstar, MOM!

So awesome to see you running already. Good luck with the 1&1's tomorrow. You can do it!
