For The Record....Today, I ran, more than walked, 4.5 miles. Outside, not on a treadmill! I like running/walking outside on a set course, one that I cannot turn around easily and head back, one that I am forced to complete once I get moving along. I also look for a route that will provide a drink or potty break along the way, if necessary. Publix is not just for shopping....
I chose one of my old routes from pre-having-the-girls-days. (10 years ago)
It was really hard, the sun was getting hotter by the minute, even at 8am, yet it felt great. I am already a little sore, tomorrow morning will be the real test.
I was amazed how well I did. I used to be able to run almost the entire way, yet did not expect to run such a large portion of the route! I told myself that this was a walking trip, yet the running just came and I could keep going better than anticipated. Yahoooo!

Good work! That's farther than I can make it.
You go girl! keep it up! It takes a few times, but you get used to it and it feels so good! BTW, the burning/pain means its working :)
That's right.. you gotta push yourself a bit more on the days you feel good.. that's your body saying, "GO! I can do it!"
