Day 4

Today was supposed to be an easy walk, but I just can't just walk. My heart rate goes nowhere, and my body just wants to push forward. So I jogged (does anyone use that word anymore?) down the entire gradual downhill, then walked up the long hill, and jogged at the top to catch up with a couple of friends. By the time I had walked again for a couple of minutes I wanted to go again, but walked and visited instead (there's plenty of time for running tomorrow). So I feel like it was a lot more than an easy walk but much less than a regular run day. Tomorrow I'm planning on doing 1 1/2 min. run and 2 min. walk, or something along those lines. It still felt great! I have actually been excited each day to get out--even in 30' weather. And I LOVE watching the sunrise--soooo beautiful! I wish I could walk in the dark and feel completely safe. It's so nice, quiet, private--I love the solitude.
