After taking the day off yesterday to let my body adjust to the idea of running (the tops of my thighs and hips screamed at me all day -- it was hard to get myself up and out of a chair) I ran another 1.2 miles today and am feeling a lot better. I am focusing on distance (as opposed to time) because then I can take as long as needed to reach my goal at my own pace.
It was already a little warm out at 7:45 AM this morning, so I am going to try to get up earlier to be out on the trail shortly after 7 AM. It is suppose to rain here all weekend, but I will be back on the trail on Monday morning -- if the weather cooperates. Sharing my progress is a great motivation for me and I hope others are inspired to run as well.
