Today is the day

Ok, so I'm in my running clothes and headed out the door...hoping to not get stopped by the kids and Greg on the way out. It would be way too easy to find an excuse to do something else. I have one cigerette in a stash in the garage...does this mean I'm not ready?!? I'm holding on to it "IN CASE" I get this great urge...the question is, after that one is gone will I go buy another pack "IN CASE"!???
I'll let you know how it goes!

It wasn't so bad! At first, I felt as if I had two bricks for feet, but after about 15 minutes I hit my stride and ran my old usual route of about 2.5 miles in about 23-24 minutes. I'm happy I finally just started again. Now it's concurring the smoking deal! Why did I start again...it's just so nasty! I could kick myself!

i've not run in like two weeks, but still not smoking, so i guess i'm still ahead of the game, right?

I was psyched... ipodded up and stretching out like a pro... ready to hit the open track with only a couple of old guys I was fantasizing about leaving in the dust. And so I did.... the first lap

Then I only made it a mile before I was so hot and sweaty I thought my head was going to blow...

maybe I'll lap them twice next time :)
