run 5 miles

I’m almost there. Saturday I ran 4.25 miles. If I hadn’t slowed down to run with the girls, I’m sure I’d be well past 5 miles by now. As it is, I’m still tying on my shoes most mornings and hitting the streets.

so….i’ve made it up to 3 miles and i’ve slowed waaaaaay down. my twins decided they wanted to run too, so i’ve slowed down to encourage them. we’re back to walk – run – walk – run – and depending on the day of the week, we do more walking and talking than running. lucky me, i have teenagers who will talk to me :)

3 weeks later I’m running 5 minutes at a time with only short walking bouts in between to catch my breath.

Progress :)

I ran this morning for the first time in probably 15 years. OK, I had twins, got an education and a job, got divorced, remarried, immigrated to the US, and now, maybe I’ll have time and energy to start running again. sigh.
