15 Minutes!

It's been a while since my last post, but last week was filled with activity. A run, three walks and yoga. This week is looking just as active, thankfully. I woke up and went for my two mile walk with Clancy and my friend Elise. Then when I got home Susannah and I hopped in the car and drove to the Brentwood Country Club, where we went for a run.

As we were setting out on our run, I said "I want to say this out loud, but my goal is to run for at least 12 1/2 minutes, but I'd like to really try for 15 minutes." And off we went. I didn't look at my watch until we were 12 minutes and 44 seconds into the run, so I was able to get to the 15 minutes without any problem. I mean I was struggling a bit at the end, but I was able to get to 15 minutes and it felt great!

My shins haven't bothered me in a while, which is a miracle in and of itself considering the pounding my entire body when through during the hike. But I'm not complaining, and will just continue on with the running. Susannah and I are going to aim for another 15 minutes on Wednesday.
