long time

So, I realized that it's been a long time since my last post. Let me explain--I was really busy with midterms, then I went on retreat and came back sick which shot training last week because all I wanted to do was sleep. Friday, I did get to go take a trip to Dick's Sporting Goods and I bought a running outfit(there is no way I am not doing this--I am too invested!!) which I am excited about.

That brings us to today. I was going to run this moring but when I got up at 6am it was as dark as the dead of night and I went back to bed! I decided instead to run after my class at 5:15pm. This turned out to be a great idea because by that time the sun had come out and the sky was blue. It was gorgeous! I ran outside for the first time today. It was good. It is alot more exhilirating and exciting but also more nerve-wracking. My outfit worked nicely, I felt pretty stylish while I was running(I am such a girl!).

I was able to run a circuit that is 1mile. I did it two times--yea 2miles! I only ran about 1mile of it. It is much different to run outside. The biggest challenge here is that the terrain is very hilly. I did discover that I like to run downhill. The first mile I was able to do in about 10minutes, the second one I walked more of and I stopped to talk to one of my friends who decided that she wants to run the half-marathon with me--Praise God!--so it took longer. Overall it was really good. I am excited because as more people find out I am doing this I am getting more support.

I am hoping to run again tomorrow--the same distance but run more of it. We'll see. Have a good night!

God bless,
Rebecca
