Treadmills and Tears

"When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are"
Just a little Bruno Mars, and so began the water works... did I mention that I was running on the treadmill at the time? It wasn't about being sexy or about being in love with someone, but I WAS AMAZING just the same!

In my head...I sounded like Forrest Gump... I was Run - Ning!

It only lasted about 45 seconds and at about 3.4 mph, but it was slower than a sprint, faster than a jog...it was ME on the Move! It's a weird mixture of pride and sadness. It's "I can do this!, Why in hell haven't I done this?"

I walked/ran for 20 minutes tonight. I made it .889 miles. I burned approximately 75 calories. (which seems like so little for such an effort).

Today...I drank 104oz of water...I did not count my calories.

In two days, I will walk a 5k. No matter how long it takes, no matter how slow I go. This will be my baseline. 133 days to Komen.
