I started running about a month ago. The last time I ran regularly was sprinting in HS 20 years ago. I usually lift about 4-5 days a week but never do any cardiovascular work.
As a new challenge I started running. I jog around a local park and started with 1 mile. I would alternate jogging and walking each side of the park. After 2 weeks I could jog the whole mile without stopping and also determined that 1 mile wasn't enough so I started running 2 miles. After 2 more weeks I have bumped it up to 3 because 2 wasn't cutting it.
Now I'm running 3 miles a day (5 days now) and am already thinking I want to do 4. It's weird because 6 weeks ago I hated any thought of running. I would get off work and just want to go home and relax. Now I get off work and can't wait to go run. The other morning I took my dog to the park and it was hot and humid. My response was that I wanted to run in that hot mess! I'm glad I started a month ago.
Am I losing my mind? I think I enjoy running! It's so weird! I think I'm a runner now.
