"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: Introductory Post/Day two of walking

Hi, guys! I'm Mai Hana (My Hah-nah). I'm a 23 year old living in the Los Angeles area.  I'm excited to co-blog Couch to Crunches with my girls, Kaitlyn and Brittany!

Two days ago, I decided to start walking at least 30 minuets a day for a week straight before I start the Couch to 5k program just to get into the habit of putting my running shoes on. I've always wanted to run long distance but always gave myself more excuses not to than giving myself motivation to get my running shoes on. I've tried to go out and walk/run but I got discouraged or distracted every single time. I'm really really really hoping this time is different. I'm going to make it so.

On Monday, I power walked/lightly jogged around the neighborhood for half an hour. The half hour flew by SO fast! It felt like I was only walking for ten minuets. It gave me time to think and refresh my mind so it was good!

Yesterday, I walked the whole half hour because jogging the day before was a bit of a stretch for me. I used the running tracking device for my Android and turned out I walked two miles in half an hour. Hopefully, I can use that as a base and improve on my time today! =]

Well, it's a little past three a.m. here so I'm heading to bed. I'm looking forward to updating again later today with a bit more information about myself! Good night, guys!

TTFN!
Tata for now!
-Mai Hana
