Yep, training has begun

On Monday I went for my first run/walk to train for the Lincoln half marathon.  It went okay.  I had my friend Mindy take me out because I needed help with the initial get out of the house.  After our run around Holmes Lake, I was feeling pretty good so Wilson got a run to the dog park and back.  Yesterday I was sore, but mostly manageable.  My quads hurt when I sat and when I went down the steps.

But today was another story.  Ugh.  Krynne was kind enough to support me and go for a run/walk with me.  We went 3 miles in 36 minutes, so a 12 minute mile over 3 miles.  It was painful!  My quads are killing me.  I tried a little natural pain remedy, red wine.  Hmm...  not sure it's helping yet!

But I am thankful for my family's support.  My darling hubby gave me awesome running socks for Christmas - one pair even says no blisters.  Krynne was an awesome cheerleader today.  She said she would even do the half marathon with me.
