I ran 3 miles today!

I'm getting ready for the Color Run in about a month and I wanted to see how long it would hake me to run 3 miles.  So today Dale and I went to the gym to check it out... I did 3 miles in 45 minutes!

This is huge for me!  I've never been one to run if I could help it.  Add in some really crappy lungs in a rather out-of-shape girl and I'm kinda impressed that I could finish at all! My legs didn't really feel the burn until after the first two miles.  My lungs, on the other hand, felt it pretty much right away. 

I have found that having my Kindle there with a good book helps pass the time and takes my mind off the pain.  If I have something to concentrate on that isn't my lungs or legs on fire I seem to go farther faster.

Sadly, I haven't been able to get back to the gym since to try it again..... After my legs stopped burning! I hope to get back soon!
