I ran completed the first day of the couch to half marathon training program. I went a total of 2.5 miles in 33:30, which included warm up and cool down. I feel good about it. I was really grumpy about having to go (and I really need to find a track to use before I go much further, instead of trusting my fitbit), but once I got out there it was nice.
I recently bought an armband, and it was very helpful to run with that holding my phone instead of tucking my phone in my bra or a pocket, neither of which are very secure. Now I just need to figure out someplace to put my keys! I wish I could run at the private college track up the street--I could warm up on the way there and cool down on the way back, have my distance marked out, and not have to carry keys. Pssh, snobs! (I'm still trying to talk them into it.)
I also could NOT be doing this without Bodyglide. It's changed my life in a number of ways, allowing me to wear shorter shorts and skirts/dresses for treks. It's completely opened up my wardrobe and I am incredibly happy about it! I put some on this morning and tossed on a pair of shorts and I was good to go (aside from picking my wedgie).
I'm leaving Wednesday morning and flying halfway across the country for a friend's wedding. I'm going to try to do the run Wednesday and Friday, and I'll post about what I do.
