I've been pretty busy this week, and yet I find things easier to handle when I have no time. My stress isn't even as high it seems. I haven't even eaten half of what I usually do!

So I went for a run today, despite the pain in the arch of my right foot I actually managed to run a mile straight, without feeling too winded or anything! Furthermore I did it in 14, that's right, FOURTEEN minutes! So that technically means I could run the 10 mile race in two and a half hours at this point. I just have to work up to running ten miles. Hopefully by July I will be able to do more than that at a better time. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. Today lets celebrate, because we should all celebrate the small things.

My running shoes I think made this possible. I have the new Nike Lunar Glide shoes. They're like running on clouds. I don't even think about my feet or my knees anymore, except for today. That's only because I'm breaking in a pair of regular sneakers and it's proving to be a bit tough.

I also found out that the part of the Black Belt Physical test in my school is to run 2.5km in...I think 15 minutes. That's only a mile and a half!

Now, to just get a workout schedule figured out. I feel like I could run five days a week, but I know I definitely shouldn't. At least not at first. I have ot get some Strength training in there, and some more focused training like endurance and definitely core training! So maybe run just three times a week....hmmm...we'll see. I must read up on how to safely increase your mileage.

Can't wait to share this with people,
