Running Update

Marathon traing officially started last Monday.. The training program we are doing is 16 weeks! AH! We have been running 4 days a week and I just did my very first 5 mile run. I have NEVER run 5 miles in my life!! And to be honest.. the 5 miles was easier than my first 3! I hope it gets more under control, because it has been really HARD! I have such a hard time running because of CFS and activity induced asthma. But Jesse is such an angel! He comes to the gym with me everytime and helps me through it when I am having a really rough time. Jesse is a great runner and always has been, when we decided to do this run I told him to go for time! Because he likes to push himself and accomplish his goals. And then about a month ago he told me he wants to run with me just in case I need anything. Am I lucky or what? I am going to slow him down quite a bit because I am running 14 min miles! haha But I just tell myself at least I'm trying. It is taking up so much time now.. my runs are an hour on average and it sure crimps my social life! But it feels so good and if I can do this run, I will be pretty excited! I mean, just doing 5 miles makes me pretty excited.. 21.2 to go!
