Tonight I ran for the seventh time in the last nine days. It feels so good! I get terrible stitches in my side now and I swear that if it weren't for those then I would be able to run the entire way without slowing down. So here's the cool thing about tonight: We decided that we were going to run 1 1/4 miles for four days to make up for the mile we didn't run yesterday. We leave our water bottles sitting outside of our house and when we pass the house (every half mile) we take a swig and keep running. WELL tonight as soon as we completed the first mile I realized something...I wasn't winded or out of breath or anything!!! *gasp* What on earth?!?! So we kept running and I told Blake that we should just run another half mile instead of the fourth! WHAT! So we did! I ran a mile and a half tonight and I feel just fine!!! What an amazing feeling. I can't believe my body has already gotten used to running that distance. It's such a strange feeling. I've never exercised on a consistent basis so all of this is new and exciting. So yeah! I'm half way to my goal of running for two weeks...and then I will get to weigh myself! Woohoo! I'm feeling great!
