First run & first half week

Had our first training run last Saturday....to the McDonalds and back. I choose to view this as a good omen for the training program.

We're running from the back of Waterside Mall which is a little desolate. A Safeway, a CVS, and a dry cleaners, and lots of empty stores.

I had trouble finding a good pace, and got winded too quickly. Need a watch or something to help me keep time. I'm too used to treadmills. (I blame my short attention span, which is entirely the fault of too much "Sesame Street" when I was little.)

This week has been a little slow, training-wise. My allergies have been keeping me up and it's hard to get out of bed to run in the mornings. Still, I had a good run Monday morning, and tomorrow for sure.
