Body By Me

This blog post may not have a title, because I don't even know how to put in to words how I'm feeling right now.  A friend of ours has started running and knew I had started running, so we decided to get together and push each other.  I thought sure I wouldn't be able to keep up with him, but I think I held my own pretty well.  I wanted to walk SO badly but I knew he wasn't going to let me.  He has all different lengths of routes mapped out around town and I told him to pick one and I didn't want to know how far we were going.  So he did....about half way through I was hitting a wall....BIG TIME!  I was having a hard time breathing, but we worked it out.  I had a VERY hard time running slowly.  (My husband will appreciate the following analogy)  It's either I idle or I put it to the boards and tonight I was having a hard time doing the speed limit lol. We got to the corner that was the finish line and Leigh said "2.2 miles"  I couldn't do anything except give him a big sweaty gross hug and thank him for pushing me.  I'm realizing more and more my actual ability and it's because of my fantastic friends believing in me.  On April 30th, I WILL run the whole Get in Gear 5k...if I can get rid of the blisters I got tonight :(  Owie!
