My Step 2: Starting to Walk

As I woke up this morning my bed posts seemed to come alive and as they reached for me and told me to just stay in bed, just hit the snooze a few time, another voice coming from deep within said "Just do it, Becky!  Just get up and go!"  And that's the voice I listened to!  I knew I wouldn't regret it!

I got up ~ I got dressed ~ I got my walking shoes on ~ and I set out!  From that first breath of fresh air I was energized!  It was a crisp, cool morning, dew making the grass sparkle, and that quiet stillness that comes before the world has awoken.

The rolling hills in the background, birds flying (I'd like to say that they were eagles but most likely just seagulls!).  I love my community~ even at 5:30 in the morning there were other like minded people out and about.  Running, walking, even kids already at the skate park showing off their skills!

When I got up to the school, I sadly discovered that they don't have a track like I thought they did so I will have to adapt!  There several trails that I can use instead.  When something doesn't go your way ~ don't give up - ADAPT!  No excuses!  Where there's a will, there's a way!
.
I don't know the distance that I went but it was a very good first time out.  (I'll have another post soon about my thoughts on all the "numbers" associated with health, diet, exercise, etc.)

I was feeling the burn in my legs ~ but it's a good kind of burn!  I plan on following this same route for the first few times and then slowly start adding distance & more inclines so that it never gets "easy".  I like the feeling of it "working".  I'm looking forward and guess what I can see in my future?  Me, running running running!
