Gooooooaaaaaaallllllllll!!!!!

Too much soccer in the background I guess :) Anyways, tonight I reached my first goal. I ran one mile continuously. I know all you seasoned runners think "Big Deal". But it IS a big deal.

Pedro was hiding tonight so I couldn't run in the neighborhood. I got Edwin's watch instead, as it can keep track of Laps, and went to the track. Took me a while to figure out how to use the darn thing. I've got so much to learn about the technical gadgets of running.

I ran with his mp3 player on and it was easier than running with no music. When Nellie came on it was easier to run faster, though I had to try hard not to start dancing, as the track had about 15 people running/walking. It's tough when "Shake your tail feathers" comes on to keep running in a straight path.

First mile (did I mention I ran the whole thing??): 10:18

Second mile: 11:43

I'm doing pretty good making this a habit, but summer is slow in my business, only 3-5 sessions per week, I hope to make this a good strong habit by the time my fall/winter rush hits.

I forgot to post on Monday. I ran two miles that day too, but much slower. Mile one, 10:46. Mile two 11:54.

Next goal is to go out for 30 minutes - run/walk.

I need a female running buddy . . . . .
