Running Progress

These are my running buddies! So far I have put in a total of about 17.5 miles in the last two weeks. Just typing that makes me realize why my back began hurting. The back pain started last Wednesday and did not let up until yesterday! This was very frustrating but I figure that it is the first of many hurts to come on this journey. Leah and Julie have put in far more miles than that! These two have been consistantly running for some time now and they are being nice enough to let me train alongside them. I came out of the starting blocks with a bang but I am now going to settle in and not over do it only running up to 2 miles for about the next month. I am going to purchase a book about running a marathon so I can do this right but in the meantime, I will stick to my running 1.5 to 2 miles and walking the rest while Leah runs 3! Go girl! Also, we are an extremely committed trio, running yesterday in 32 degree weather! Crazy, I know, but after you get running it feels pretty good. Thanks, girlies, for the accountability and the encouragement!
