3 miles

i did 3 miles - 2 minute run - 2 minute walk.  average pace was 16.5 minutes.  i loved it - breaking a sweat - feeling proud of me for the courage to start and looking forward to the day when i can do a 10 minute mile. 

rome was not built in a day and this body did not turn into this mini-train wreck over night. so while i know that i have miles to go before i sleep - i am just glad that i have turned the switch on.

short term goal is to do this 3 x a week.  

long term goal is the gw parkway classic in april 2010.

"girly goal" is to look good in cousin's wedding pictures in may 2010.

gotta have health and "girly" goals to complete the total package.

Congratulations Kimberly. I finally got back in the gym at the beginning of the month. For the first time, I'm attempting to be patient and not look for miraculous changes overnight. I, too, am thinking about taking stock of my improvement in 2010.

Please keep up us posted on your progress, and let us know where we can come cheer you on if you enter a 5k or something.
