Creeping in My Own Neighborhood

I'm happy to report that running has not killed me! Day Two, Week One of Couch to 5k is behind me!  Mr. Husband destroyed himself last time, so I put him on "not running today rest."  Undeterred by my soreness and hatred for doing anything alone, I ran around my neighborhood like I owned the streets!

My new app, Every Trail is super-rad.  I tell it when to go and shove it in my pocket.  Then, I run around like a gazelle and hit stop when I'm done.   The result is what you see below: an accurate representation of where I went and how fast I got there!

33 Minutes 21 Seconds / 2.1 miles / Average Speed: 3.8 mph

I only need to get one more mile in before I'm practicing exactly 5k!  I came home a hot, sweaty mess concerned that I'd never be running more than a couple blocks! Finding that I've been doing way more than I thought I could was so encouraging.  

Ma'am, I'm from the creeper union.

As for the run itself, it was really nice!  The little neighborhood behind mine was just as cute as before. The jacaranda was blooming and inspired me to prance down that way more than once so I could get a picture. I hope the neighbors don't think I'm weird for sweating my way up and down the street and taking random pictures of their yards.   I'M NORMAL AND NOT WEIRD AT ALL.

Tomorrow, we're going to the gym for strength training.  I have missed working my upper body out!  It deserves some of the punishment I've bestowed upon my poor little legs.
