So about 6 months ago I signed up for the Cherry Blossom 10-miler. I didn't give myself enough time to train, and so I ended up only doing the 5 k. I was able to run the whole thing though, so that was exciting. I told myself I would take a week off as a celebration, and then get back to running.
That didn't work out.
Instead, I took off almost 2 months. Ugh.
So today I got my butt out of the apartment and went to the gym and got on a treadmill. I hopped on, and ran a 10 minute mile without stopping. I was quite impressed with myself, seeing as it's been awhile. I then walked a half mile and ran another half mile. I could have continued, but I didn't want to over do it, and I would like to go back to the gym tomorrow.
Hopefully I have turned over a new leaf, and get in the habit of going to the gym again.
Wish me luck!
