I'll learn to get by with little victories....

Another treadmill run yesterday. By the time I got my butt in gear to run, it was far too late to be running around outside by myself. The treadmill wasn't as bad this time, though. 2 miles came and went pretty quickly, and I ran at a much faster pace than normal.

And, for the first time ever, *drumroll please* I didn't need to take any walking breaks! Usually after mile 1 I have to take a break to stretch and walk. Yesterday I just kept on running. I was so proud of myself! My pace is still slow, but I'm hanging in there and gaining endurance. I actually know what it feels like to be "in the zone" now. My first mile was gloriously "in the zone."

And I'll be awful sometimes, weakened to my knees/but I'll learn to get by on little victories
