Not all horses are born to run . . .

January 6th-

Today was the two mile run.

I want to start out with a positive and end with a positive. So you will at least have to read to the middle to get the juicy stuff.

I finally figured the interval timer that my sister got me out. Note to self, it helps if you read the instructions and really pay attention to what you are reading. This brings me to the thought that I as an American am very lazy and completely contradictual. I get mad when I cant figure something out but am thus because, HELLO!, I didnt read the instructions first. I am so my fathers daughter.

So I started out running with the two minute interval that I had set. I was ECSTATIC when I surpassed the two minute vibration alarm. I got so happy I lost track of my breathing and had to slow a bit but kept on going! I ran for 4 minutes straight with no problem. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! I never would have thought it possible.

I walked two minutes and started again. I made it all the way to 10:53!!!!!!! YEAH BUDDY!

So at this point you are asking yourself why did she name this blog "Not all horses are born to run".

Although I am working up to it, I am thinking that I was not born to run. You may not know this but some horses are great at haulin' ass, some are great at a run, some are great at a trot and others can barely walk without tripping on their own two feet. I am not as bad as tripping over my own two feet most of the time however, I am better of at a slow trot. My short stubby legs are definitely not loving the jarring of the harder faster run but are definitely loving a 4.5 jog more. Now most people with longer legs are saying I totally start my walking warm up there. Let me just say my legs are probably anywhere from 2 inches to a foot shorter than yours, it is just a thought and I am only 5 days in, give me a break.

So anyway, now that I climbed down off of the soap box, I will end on a positive note. I ended my 2 miles at 34 min. Which puts me at a 17 min/mile. For just starting I dont think that is that bad. I know it is not great but I am positive it is a beautiful start. Watch me become more beautiful!
