Path to 5k

I'm pretty proud of myself for doing this, hence the post.

I got up this morning (a Saturday no less!) and jogged a mile. Not at the gym; not on a treadmill; on the road. Which is kind of scary considering there's no shoulder. I'm proud that I jogged a mile on a Saturday.

My husband came with me (I don't think I would have done it without him) so I'm very thankful for that, but the mile certainly wasn't as much work for him as it was for me.

The other thing is that I looked into getting the Nike+ running thing (it's something you hook to your shoe & it 'talks' to your ipod to track your run) but all the ones I saw aren't compatible with the ipod & iphone I have. SO instead of spending lots o' moolah on getting a new ipod, I decided to try out an app (Runkeeper) on my iphone that's supposed to do the same thing. It tracks by GPS (or manually, but that's no fun) but it doesn't do a lick of good if I can't get GPS signal on my phone. That's a bummer. I'm going to try MapMyRun & see if it'll work for me. And if not, then I'll see if I can't convince someone to get me the Nike+ for my birthday or something. :o)

After we got home I made breakfast burritos (so easy & so yummy) and a smoothie made from apple juice, banana, blueberries, & raspberries.

Needless to say, I'm feeling very good today. Hope your day results in the same.
