Start running

I believe there is progress! I actually really enjoyed running today… I think part of the secret lies with music to distract me from the thoughts that circle around wanting to walk for a bit or telling me that I don’t even LIKE running etc.

My route is around 5 km length, I think… I wonder how long it will take me to be able to run the whole thing without walking in between? (Oh. Wait. That is one first dangerous step towards impatience, which has made me give up before.)

I stopped thinking about this and actually went outside to go jogging. And it went quite well! (Well… at least if I compare it to what I expected.) I intend to keep trying and hope for progress even if the second or third time seem more frustrating. (At least that’s what always kept me from enjoying it the last times I tried.)

It sounds like so much fun to be able to run but I don’t really know to get started. Even when I was really fit and in shape, 15 minutes of uninterrupted running were the most I ever made. I’m not sure why – maybe I don’t breathe right. I don’t know, but I really envy the people I see running by who don’t have a near-death experience on every street corner.
