I have never been a runner before. It was always one of those things I wanted to do, I'd start, and then I would stop. More times than I can count, I'd have a bad run and that would be the end of me. Rather than recovering the next time, a little set back would keep me off the pavement.
But now that the weather here is FINALLY starting to get warm (80-degree April in Pittsburgh - love it!), I want to get outside to exercise. Factor that in with the fact that I want to spend time with Nicholas in the evenings after work, and running is the most logical workout. And so, armed with new shoes and a Nike+, I started again, baby and husband in tow.
So far things have been going well. We live in a quiet residential neighborhood, so it's easy to get out and do a quick 2 miles around the neighborhood. We're starting slow - walking some, then running, then back to walking, and so on. I never imagined I would feel a runner's high, but I do. Even after these short runs, I so do. It's awesome!
This morning was a bit tougher. We took a different route, and our first two runs were up hills. I can't lie, they were rough. But with Joe cheering me on, I made it! And I'm going to do it again!
