Not bad.  I’d expected a little more gone this morning, but trust me, after going up the last few days, anything down is good. 

Oh, you will never believe what I did yesterday… I went running.  Me!  Shocking, I know.  I’m the peson that always said I would only run if being chased, but even while I was saying that, I was secretly always wanting to be a runner.  I’ve tried jogging in the past, but couldn’t even make it to the end of the block.  I never understood that.  Been walking for years and after losing this much weight, you’d think I’d be able to take things to the next level.  Well, I found an article last week about how to train to start running, and it sounded very doable to me.  You do it in 4/2 increments… 4 minutes walking with 2 minutes running, in 5 segments every other day.  Then next week it 3/3… 3 minutes walking with 3 minutes running.  I also read in the same article that said that some people who find themselves starting running programs and then find themselves to tired after a short distance are usually running too fast too soon, that you shouldn’t go any faster than a fast walk, so I made sure that I kept telling myself to slow down, and oddly enough I could run each of those 2 minutes segments without wanting to die.  I’m so proud of myself.  Of course, my calves and quads are wondering what in the hell that was all about and are complaining about it now, but they’re going to be more angry tomorrow when I do it again.  HA!
