Running!!!!

I love running. Ok so I pretty much waddle (slow jog) right now but I'm getting better. I like the feeling of pushing myself and accomplishing something hard. I have been going to the park three mornings a week with a friend and I have enjoyed it. It wasn't always fun, that's for sure. I get over heated or something and feel like I'm going to be sick or else I get a horrible cramp in my side. And still... I love it anyway!
But the sad news came today that my friend can't go run with me any more because of schedule changes and I have no one to run with. And I can't run alone in this town... that's just dumb whoever and where ever you are. So... my wonderful husband wants to get me a treadmill. We are looking into it have found the one we want but we really don't have a way to get it into our house. The doors are all too small and the box is huge! Well I guess we'd have to unpack it outside and bring the pieces in and put them together. Crazy. We'll see how this goes. But I am excited to be able to keep running even if it's not outside in the fresh morning air anymore. I'm hoping to get to the point where I can run a 5k without much trouble. So far the longest I've actually run in one stretch is 90 seconds. Not far at all. But that's better than nothing and I'm working my way up! That's what counts!
