Only five days before Christmas and I decide to take the plunge for preparation for my next run. I have decided to start with a 5k at the beginning of the year. I need to find one in the immediate area, but for now. I just need to start back walking.
This morning, I laced up my shoes and headed to the gym. I completed 30 minutes of walking and 15 minutes on the stationary bike. I read a few scriptures and came back home. I like to start with time. I think that is easier than how many miles at the beginning of my program. Anyway, how do I feel. IT WAS TOUGH! I felt like I was pulling 100 pounds of lead behind me. My back hurt and my legs felt like bricks. I was not flexible at all. Stiff can not even begin to describe my joints. Mentally, I felt great. The shame and fear of starting again left, the walls have started to shake. Down you go walls! Down you Go!
Personal goal: 3 weeks of walking. So, Wednesday January 11th. I hope to start the Couch to 5k program. One day at a time. I'll write later.
