I figured I'd go out and exercise - at 1:30 a.m.! It's a
convenient time for a night owl like me, and gave me a nice break from
studying. I thought I'd better start off as slowly as possible, so I
planned to limit myself to a mile on the indoor track. I lost count
of how many laps I did, but I probably did a tad more than a half mile,
and then even my iPod couldn't keep me interested.
I moved to the treadmill so that I could get a better idea of my
starting level. It took me 21 minutes to complete a mile. What
a shame! And worse, I'll probably be in pain tomorrow from this
piddly little excuse for a workout- I can already tell that my back, my
neck and my knees will be sore. (My neck??)
Sigh... one day when I'm back to doing 45 minutes on the elliptical
trainer I'll have this journal entry to look back on and I'll be proud
of my accomplishments. We all have to start somewhere, don't we?
Well, I'm good and sleepy now! Good night, all.

| your right we all have to start somewhere. when i started i could only walk 30-40 min adn that would have me in pain for the next few days. i dreaded it because it just wasnt fun. but after shedding some extra weight and six weeks of walking everyday i am doing much better and no pain. now i couldnt imagine not walking or running everyday. well yes i could i could but i wont go there! great start and keep it up you'll get there and when you are finally on that eliptical have a ceremony to celebrate your acheivements. im looking forward to hearing how the next walk goes!
