"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." -Steve Prefontaine

Mai Hana: Day 1 of Walking Twice a Day

Today, I went out for a half hour walk twice! Once in the morning at like 1000 and again in the evening, about an hour ago at 1800.

In the morning, I went to the beach and walked along the bike route. It was pretty cloudy, cool and nice! I think the beach is one of the best places to walk/jog/run/whatever because there's SO much motivation around you! I saw this lady sprinting, lots of mamas jogging while pushing their kiddos in their strollers, people playing beach volleyball, people cycling ect ect. They all looked pretty damn good! The whole time I was walking, I was thinking, "Oh! I want to be able to run like her! Oh! I want to be fit like her! Wow! I want to look that good after having a kid!!!" I know it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get where they are at and I'm not going to let anyone or anything stop me. =]

I just got home maybe half an hour or so ago from walking my sister to her buddy's pad. I tried to power walk there but of course we goofed off a bit...okay, okay...we goofed off quite a bit. Haha After I dropped her off, I decided to jog some in order to catch up on the lost time. I did way better than I thought I'd do. I was scared that my asthma was going to act up but it didn't. I didn't push myself much though because I didn't want to discourage myself from Couch to 5k.

OOOooooh! Now I get to cross asthma off of my list of excuses. As long as I build endurance while training, I'm sure my asthma isn't going to be a problem. I mean it hasn't been a problem for the past ten years but I haven't ran in over ten years so yeah. =]

Well, that's all I've got for now!

TTFN!
Tata for now!
