Running...who knew?

I have been running/jogging in exercise class since January, so I thought I would give it a try outside. Now, keep in mind that I have always said "Does this body look like it runs? Ummm....no!" But somehow, I have been able to jog around the neighborhood. I have found that if I do the walk 2 blocks, run 4, walk 1, run 3, and so on, it seems to work well.
Two years ago I did try running out of the blue. I had not been exercising or anything, so I knew that it would be hard. But, I did not know that the hardest thing would be waking up the next morning with every single part of my body hurting! I had chest pains and everything, so I gave up. But now I am armed with the knowledge that I need to stretch, do a few jumping jacks then continue to keep a steady pace.
However, I hope none of you ever see me run, because I am such a heavy breather. It's not pretty people. :-)

Have a good weekend and I will be posting more once we get the computer fixed at home and I am back from my conference in the Twin Cities!
