Running? Me?

OK I just have to post this on here because I am just so happy with myself. Today I ran 1 mile in 10:22. A couple months ago I decided I was gong to pick up running, and I struggled. Then, I found a beginning running college course that was posted online and decided to try it out. This week is week 6 in the program. I'm supposed to run 6 minutes then walk 1 minute, repeated 4 times. This program works up to running 20 minutes straight in 10 weeks. I usually run 3 or 4 days a week, so it might take me longer than that to reach 20 minutes, but I'm so excited. I really need to build more muscle though so I'm trying to talk Dennis into going to the gym with me on Tuesdays. Today I only slowed for 1 minute the whole mile!! Now for you runners I know that it really is not a super great time, but the last time I timed myself it was like 13min. And to show you how far I have actually come, when I started toying with the idea last summer I couldn't even run a block without stopping for breath. My knees gave me problems last year as well, so I kind of gave up the idea for a while and just did aerobics and strength training. Yeah that's how far my body has gone during these baby bearing years. I remember when I was 18, I was in a PE college class and I had to run a mile for like a mid-term test. It was like a slow 15-18 minute mile or something like that and I remember about dying!!! Never, ever been a runner in my entire life and had no desire either. I find that I really enjoy it though. It's my time by myself and I'm competing against myself and no one else. I listen to general conference talks while I go and I love that. Dennis has mentioned running together a few times, but I am still really intimidated by that thought. I would surely slow him down and be self conscious about it the whole time. Maybe one day though, who knows.
