Yesterday was the first time since a really really long time that I sweat and had my heart rate pumped up.. Since I signed up with the Run/Walk event, I figured I need some training before the real event. After all, I don't want to get left behind in downtown Atlanta at 8pm. Mr. Rojo has been running in our neighborhood for quite sometimes. He has all the distance down. So based on his information if I walk 4 and a half loop, it will be approximately 3.1 miles the same distance for the 5K Walk/Run.
After dinner, I set out to walk.. I must confess that I don't like walking. I just want to get it done fast. I can't stand just walk there. I'm so tempted to run and I did.. Oh! Boy! How out of shape I am. After one block of jogging, I need to come back to reality that I wasn't ready for the jogging/running scene yet. So walking I did.. I didn't make it to 4 and a half loops but I did 3 loops. And that was approximately 2 miles. Not bad for the first day.. I must say..
It was such a good feeling to exercise. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner. Check back often to see when I will hit my 3.1 miles goal. Who know maybe after 51 days I might be able to run instead of walk!

2 miles your first time around is great! You'll be running in no time. If you need a schedule, you can check out one that I posted here. http://www.buddhabelle.com/2008/04/race-against-racism.html
