I started week number 4 of my new exercise program with running a mile straight this morning!!!wooh hooooh! Week 1 was really sad. Ken and I started walking one morning and tried to jog a little but I think we only jogged for about 5 minutes of the 30 minute course. So slowly, slowly, we have been working on increasing our endurance and it really is improving. I love Ken for supporting me and encouraging me even when he would like to run on ahead and at least break a sweat.
On week 2 we decided to try out the track at the Hish School. We loved it because its squishy and not so jarring on the knees. There are a lot of people out at 630am working out with us and so far it hasn't been 100 degrees at that hour. I like to know how far I've gone and how far I have to go. I like to sprint the last 100 yards. Its exhilerating to force your body to move fast. Its hard to do it for long periods of time but to make this old out of shape body move fast for 100 yards is kind of fun. Plus I know its the final piece before I'm done!
We come home and do a few crunches and a few push ups then get ready for the day.
