Learning to run ......

We had a special guest this evening talking with a MUCH smaller group of women about 'form in running'.  Lacey? She was very informative, sharing alllllll kinds of how too - from head to toe,  how to move the right way and the wrong way every part in between, ha ha

There was a lot to remember and thankfully there isn't an expectation to do it all at once... this is where we can do couple things at a time until it becomes second nature. Right?  RIIIGGHTTT :-)
 
AND then we all go outside for our runs- grateful for the beautiful evening and then SURPRISE!!!!
 
Instead of run1/walk1... we get to run2/walk 1 ... WHAT.....hmmmm I wonder if the other groups were given a surprise too ..lol  
Well it was more difficult that I expected but I was there and I tried....was having breathing issues again, and even though I was concerned about my knees (they've been overworked this week) I still finished - and I actually feel really good right now. 

I am also learning a few things about myself and running that I will test in the coming weeks run..  I probably shouldn't eat before running.. I didn't last week and felt better. I also need to remind myself that even though it takes A LOT to get me there, I really do feel better after exercising!   

 Next step --- convincing myself I wont drown swimming and I NEED more practice there too!!!
