Well Harpo and I just got back from our FIRST run all the way around Calhoun for the 2011 year running season. Whew I actually impressed myself! Even though we walked a few stretches here and there I came in under 40 minutes!
Harpo and I did a mile run around the neighborhood on March 3rd... which was WAY to early to be running outside. My lungs froze!
Then we attempted to run around Calhoun a few weeks ago, but Calhoun was not ready for us, the bike trail was the only thing cleared of snow, and it wasn't cleared that well. We made it about 1/4 of the way around then came back.
Today was a beautiful, gorgeous day! It's 62 out, the sun is shining and the air is wonderful!
Although it didn't start off well, when I went to get Harpo's leash I couldn't find it. Turned out it was in Kyle's Jeep so we had to make a trip to his work to pick up the leash before heading to lake calhoun. Then as soon as I stepped out of the jeep I felt the erge to poop. I was hoping to make it the whole way, but ended up having to utilize one of the port-a-potties about a quarter of the way in. Luckily there was toilet paper AND hand sanitizer. Then my last 5 minute stretch my ipod battery went dead! Of all the things trying to stop me, we made it a success!!!! And honestly I was blown away by my time, I thought surely with all the walking it would have taken me about 45 minutes or so!
Harpo of course wasn't bothered by any of the dilemmas, he had a good time, he is passed out on the rug right now, lol!

Like I mentioned I signed up for a 5K... which happens to be THIS Saturday! The reason I got out there to run today, haha. I have been running a few times (okay 3) at our gym on the treadmill, but only made it about a mile or two of running at a time. Today gives me a little more confidence that I will survive the run on Saturday :-)
