Running - Day 1

Today starts me and Sasha's new adventure. Running. Mostly to tire her out and hopefully she will stop chewing everything in site. Sasha is a 10 month old Siberian Husky, bred to run and pull. Me, I'm a 24 year old, nap loving, non-runner that has decided to do a half marathon. So today our adventure begins...

According to my training program (which I have already skipped the first two days...whoops), we are supposed to run 3 miles. It's 8pm and still over 90 degrees and super humid. I try to ditch the running, but the fiance pulled out his motivational speech so we lace and lease up and we are off.

The running itself wasn't so bad...I have been training a bit recently and this past Sunday I participated in a 5k mud run which actually was a ton of fun...it was so just really hot. I had a ton on my mind and since I will be training sans ipod, I actually sorted a lot of stuff out and finished the run feeling good mentally and physically.

We definitely have a long way to go...me to finish my first half and Sasha to channel her energy into something productive instead of torturing our other dog.

Until tomorrow...
