Getting a little easier...

Well I am happy to say that running has finally gotten a tiny bit easier.  I am increasing my amount of time running and lessening my time recovering.  I also officially signed up for the mud run on March 31st and created my support team....Poop on Parkinson's.  That is really our team name!

I am back and ready to get dirty!

I know it has been a long time since my last blog, and for that, I am sorry.  But I did do something good with my time....I wrote a book!  Which is going to be published this month.  It is a very exciting time.

My next adventure is the Spring Break Irvine Lake Mud Run!  That's right!  A 5K run with muddy obstacles in my way.  I have an all ladies team that is going to help me make it to the finish line.  Seeing as it is February 5th, I am limited on the time I have to train.  So I thought what a better way to keep on track and reach my goals on my neglected blog.

Dear running diary, Ha-Ha!  I crack myself up.  Today is my very first day running and my goal was to run 1 minute and walk 3 minutes.  Repeat 4 times.  How did I do you ask?  Well, I am bright red and breathing hard.  I noticed that uphill sucked, but downhill was not that much easier.  I did complete the 2nd minute, but I made up for it in the third minute.  My conclusion for the 1st day?  It was pretty hard, but I was expecting it to be.  I had great energy after I recovered.  This is going to be a little harder than I expected, but I got this!
