WOW!! I did it!
September 30th, 2009 | Author: Sassy
I ran 2.04 miles, without stopping, in just under 25 minutes. That may not seem like much to those of you who run regularly, but as this is my second day back in the saddle, I’m way pumped. That’s a 12-minute mile! Not too shabby.
I will say, though, that this was MUCH more difficult than day one. After about the first mile, I was fighting a side and shoulder cramp the rest of the way. I didn’t think I would be able to keep running, but I focused on the music (along with some mental yelling at myself) and made it all the way. When I finished, I was really dizzy (I did sprint the last block) and felt like I had some major heartburn. Can running give you heartburn? That seems odd.
I figure I’ll keep this route all next week and then a quarter mile at a time.
Now back to avoiding shoving my face. Running seems to have made me extremely hungry and I could eat one of everything right about now.

I am just so proud of you! You never realized that all the cardio and strength training you were doing was going to pay off in the form of running, did you? As you’re trying to increase how far you’re running, check out http://www.gmap-pedometer.com. It’s google’s version of a pedometer and it rocks. We need to go running together soon!
Woo Hoo! Good job, Sarah!
I am super impressed. I am on my 3rd week of running and I can only run for 3 minutes straight. Hopefully I will be where you are in a few weeks!
you go, girl!
Way to go Sarah!! That is so awesome.
Congratulations! That is awesome. Great job! If you don’t mind my asking, what Total Gym do you use? I am looking to get the Total Gym 1700 Club and was wondering how you liked yours. Thanks.
