First official workout

So today was my first official workout. I was still by myself, but I was on the schedule given to me by my coach. The goal for the day was 1-2 miles walking or running. I jogged/walked at about a 4.5 mile pace and finished in 27:18 on the treadmill. Unfortunately the rain was coming down a bit hard to workout outside. I definitely want to improve that time, but it was only 2.5 weeks ago when it took me 52 minutes to do a 5k. It's amazing how fast your body responds as you begin to push it!

Today was great, too, because Matt came with me to the gym. He's decided to push himself as well. It's of course frustrating how easily he can do anything, but it's fun to be working towards goals together and have him there at the end of my workout. It makes it that much better!

I got my first donation this evening. Very exciting! It's quite overwhelming to be raising this money knowing the state of the economy, but I trust that things will come together, and I will train as if they already have. I'm sure I'll come up with some creative ways to raise the funds as well. Maybe a PF Chang's dinner or some homemade jewelry or something.

Thanks for reading!
