Simple But Great

Like the photo? It's me right before my first run today! I'm finally able to exercise and started earlier in the week with some TaeBo workouts. I'll have to dust off my other workout tapes/dvds! Then today I finally got to go running! I was like a kid on Christmas morning, waiting for the right time to go running today. Luckily, the weather cooperated and it was around 45 degrees when I was out (I dressed a little too warm!) and almost all the snow was melted. My plan was to run half a mile. Yeah that is not very much, but I am starting from 9 months of no physical activity! But, I surprised myself and ran 1 mile! It was very hard and I could immediately tell my body is very rusty! I can't wait to slowly work up to more mileage. I've got a training schedule all typed up... I'm working towards a 5k in March and a 10k in May. I always have the hardest time talking myself into working out everyday (except for today). But, then when I start and get into it, I'm always thinking,"I love working out!" I just need to find a way to motivate myself before I start. Anways, I'm so excited to being exercising again and can't wait to get back into shape!
