I did it! I actually got on my treadmill this morning for 30 minutes. As planned, I did the walk/run strategy. After the first ten minutes, I thought...."This isn't so bad! I can do more than I thought!" Then......my muscles began to mock me. It's been over a year since I've intentionally exercised. I was hoping "muscle memory" would help me out, but I think my muscles have forgotten what it's like to be in constant motion!
Two miles later, I feel good. I even did a few crunches and push-ups before my son started yelling, "Mommy, you done yet??????"
I have set a goal. I want to RUN the 5K at the Blueberry Festival this fall on Labor Day weekend!!!!!!!! Hold me to it!!!!!
So, hello old friend.......my dear treadmill. Your resting days are over!
