Week 1, Day 2

I made it to Day 2! It kicked my ass, but I made it!

It was a lot harder today, I think, because I wasn't alone on the track. When I got there, a woman was pushing a stroller around (and walking a dog), and her daughter was wobbling along behind her on a bike. Thank gad she was wearing a helmet, that's all I hafta say.

The woman was very polite, though. Every time I would pass her, she would pull her dog and stroller over to the right and wait for me to run by. And by "run" I mean "plod." I'm not full-on running, here. Just a very gentle trot. I've got arthritis in both knees, so I'm taking it real easy.

It was a lot warmer today than Tuesday, and I had decided to go out in shorts and a tank top, fat and flab be damned. I think that had a lot to do with how hard it was. By the fourth run, I was begging for the end. I still don't know how I pushed through the rest, but I did.

I'm a little nervous about Saturday. I'm not a religious person, but it's a big seventh day adventist community here. All very nice (vegetarian) people, but Saturday is their sabbath, and I'm going to be parking in their lot and running behind their church. I hope I don't offend anyone.

Now I just need to stop eating like crap.
