I went to the gym yesterday and completed 5 miles in 1:25. Next week I'll add another mile, then another the following week, and so on. When the weather gets better, I'll take it to the streets.
What's notable is that I actually ran for 8 minutes! I plodded that shit nonstop for 8 whole minutes. I've never done that before. Maybe I can add more running minutes on to each week, too.
I think I could really do this, and I have two months to make it happen. Should I put cash on it and sign up for the race?
So there's that,
Laura

I say we do this! Even if you run half, that's still amazing, ya know? It's not a do or die situation, as Pat Benatar would say.
DO IT!! I took up running after my father died in an attempt to acquire the healthy habits he lacked that, ultimately, caused his death.
I will tell you that having a physical goal that pushes your body beyond anything you thought you could do, and then achieving that goal--better than sex and cheese.
yes, yes, yes! You can run Laura! I started off with 30-second intervals! You can do it if you just build a little at a time!
