I started running again

I ran today! Well sorta. I walked part of it because my lungs hurt so bad (probably doesn't help that I've been sick with a cough and cold for the past week). I used the treadmill. I only went 2 miles and it took me 26 minutes to go that far. My lungs hurt, my knees hurt and I felt like puking my guts out, but I guess you have to start somewhere right? I honestly haven't run or really exercised since the Hobble Creek Half last August. Last year, I started running March 7 and ran the Wasatch Back, Speedy Spaniard and the Hobble Creek Half (plus a couple 5K's). As long as I had a race ahead, I was motivated. I decided it's about that time again, so I better get moving. Ugh. I must admit, I feel much better physically as well as mentally when I'm working out. Maybe I can get out of this slump and quit feeling so lazy. I'll try to post my progress here, mostly to keep me motivated. So, here's to working out...
