Um, running? Not easy. And, I'm waiting for the fun part to kick in. Right now, when I hit 5 minutes, I pretty much feel like I'm going to die. And, for any of you who are ample in the upper region, you can sympathize with the discomfort (2 sports bras seems to help!). But, I'll get there...I hope. I actually started a few weeks ago, before the countdown to 30 officially began, but now I'm kicking it into high gear. I'm striving for 4 days away, 30-40 minute sessions. So far, I'm doing a bit of alternate walk/running, sort of a build up to straight running. Despite my procrastinating to actually get to the gym, and the urge to let my fluttering lashes stay shut for a nap, once I'm on the treadmill, it actually feels pretty good! I've got to work on some better breathing (do you ever get a rhythm down?? I feel like I can't get enough air!) and a more energetic play list (I love you Madonna, but I need a little variation). Any tips fellow runners? I've been inspired by some good friends of mine this year...so, I've decided to follow their lead and work towards a 5K, AND run the whole thing, within the next year. Hopefully it comes with more energy, leaner hips, and a little less in that ample upper region, not to mention a huge sense of satisfaction of reaching a once unattainable goal. Wish me luck and feel free to inspire me with your running stories!
