Today.
Day 2.
1/2 mile running
1/4 mile walking
9min 48 seconds
*including my minor wipe out due to the pothole i totally caught. thus, resulting in the current icing of my ankle.


other than the ankle, i did a lot better than i thought i would. after i came back inside and cooled off, i could have gone back out. i think that is a good sign!


God's timing is so funny and perfect. i saw this on Sam's blog yesterday and cannot get over that just when i needed encouragement and a confidence boost to start running, i encounter this.

with that said...

i have a long way to go and i recognize this. however, even if i end up walking all 13.1 miles, i will still accomplish my goal and be doing more than i was. 

see you soon.
