So this one time...

...I thought to myself, hey self, it would be cool if you could run 6 miles straight. About four years later I thought, hey why not? So I started to run. That was two days ago. So far so good. And then my friends said hey, you should blog about running so that you have to do it because everyone will know you are running, so I thought, hey why not. And that is the story of how I come to be on this blog.

The end. Well not really.

I pretty much have always hated running, and I think the most I have ever run in my life at one time was a mile, and that was a long time ago. So why did I make this goal of running 6 miles? I have no idea. But I did, so I'm gonna do it, because quitting is lame.

So far, since I started running, I have run twice. Keep in mind I only started two days ago so it's not all that surprising that I've only gone twice. The first time I decided I'd try half a mile. I went half a mile at 5mph on my treadmill, and I almost died, but I did it. That might seem like a tiny bit of running to you, and it wasn't very fast, but for me it was a whopper, so I am impressed with myself.

Today I went again, but I decided I could go further if I alternated between walking, jogging, and running. So I started out with a tenth of a mile walking (at 3mph), then another tenth of a mile jogging (5mph), and everything was going great, so I decided to do another tenth of a mile running (at 7mph), and I almost fell over, and my heart freaked out a little bit, so after that I stuck to walking and jogging. Hence, after 15 minutes I had done .4 miles walking, .5 miles jogging and .1 mile running. Added up that equals a MILE. That's right, a mile. BAM.

Okay so it wasn't that impressive but I'm working on it :)

In conclusion, this picture pretty much sums up my life:
