One of my friends who I confided in first about my running idea (after my mother) sent me this today:

I thought it was cute. This friend has the most confidence in me and I really appreciate and thank him for it. It's people like him who are a real motivation, because you just don't want to let them down.

So, Today was my second run. It was on a treadmill because the weather was iffy. I was not keen on running in the rain.

It was good and odd at the same time. I've run on treadmills before, at the university gym, but I never really did it seriously. I never had a plan before, I always pretty much did my workout by ear. Today was different. I tried to walk 4, run 2 rule. Then the clip fell out (stopping the treadmill), so then I ran 3, walked 4 and ended a little early because I took so long to get ready and I'm on a bit of a schedule today. It's doubtful that I'll even find time to write a part of my novel today. It's funny how when I was just a couple of years younger the weekends were where I found time to relax and just be. Now I find myself with absolutely no time on the weekends. Perhaps I'm too tense? I don't know, but I still cant decide if I like being glad to see a weekend over and look forward to Mondays as opposed to the usual norm. of dreading the weekdays like everyone else.

Wow, excuses, excuses. Well, I'll do better next time, which will be Monday. Tomorrow is supposed to be my rest day, but I have Taekwon-do class.

Wishing she could find a stretch for her calves that actually works,
