DAY 11

Continuing to run one mile - taking from 14-17 minutes, depending on my energy, the wind level and TOSH!

Have added flabby arm exercises. I want to look nice in a sleeveless dress on August 1st.

DAY 7

Ran: 1 MILE!!

Took me 15 minutes, but I RAN ONE MILE! I think I'll stay on this distance for a bit; I'd like to get a good time before moving on - so I don't completely pass-out when finished - but I did accomplish baby step #2.

Tosh was extremely unhappy about the one dog he cannot tolerate. There are numerous canines on our route, but there is a particular barker that he HATES. I almost fell over him as he tried his best to tear down the fence to get to the critter.

NOTE: EAT something before running - maybe 45 minutes or so prior to leaving.

TO DO: Find a different route to avoid the dog mentioned above.

BABY STEP: Run 1 1/2 miles by Friday, April 10th.

DAY 5

Ran: 3/4 mile

11 minutes - added a 1/4 mile - will do 3/4 for two more days then try for the full mile on Friday. I hope that I can accomplish that - an extra quarter mile darn near kicked my butt!
