I suppose telling anyone about my success is good.

I went to the college this morning and jogged and walked for about 1/2 hour. Everyone keeps telling me-baby steps! I am crawling along. I have no problem getting up in the morning and going to a new place every day. I think I will start out with doing 5 days in a row of leaving the house with a dog (I have 5), and my kid, and going somewhere new to push myself.

When I got to the college, I stretched and walked fast for a bit like I was instructed to do from my buddies. The, I jogged for a bit less than a 1/4 mile. I did not go so hard that my throat constricted. i ran until I could set a distance in the path that i could walk. When I reached that milestone, I then walked briskley as my dog looked up at me wondering why my jiggeley butt wasn’t running with him anymore.  My  to run too much, but I remembered the advice of Kerstina who just told me that the more I go at it and push myself, the easier it will be. My throat won’t constrict as much, and my jogging will get better. So when i saw a point I wanted to stop jogging at, I got to that milestone, and then I found another milestone. I kept jogging to that one, then the next one, and the last thing I could keep jogging to was my car. So I didn’t quit. i reached it nearly dead, and walked in circles until my breathing and heartbeat simmered down. I am doing it… I just want to look back on this in a couple of months and see how farI have come. I want to stick to something more than a couple days. Tomorrow, i plan on going to the track at my old highschool  and jogging one lap, walking one lap, jogging one lap, and finally walking one lap. That would be one mile. I remember having to run a full mile in P.E. in highschool 5 years ago. It was mandatory. And I did it in 8:45.  I was so proud of myself! I would love to reach that again……make me feel like a young whipper-snapper once more!
