My First Run

Today I work up and decided just to give running a try. I had mentioned to my fiancé that I thought I could run a 5k at one point. Which is an odd thing for me to say because A.) I’ve never ran before and B.) I hate running. Although with the idea of the 5k on my mind I decided to give it a shot today.

I did a warm up by walking to a near by park. I then ran for almost 8 minutes. Which I definitely couldn’t have done before I had my daughter. So being able to do this now is amazing for me. I was also pushing a stroller and my daughter. So bonus points? My total distance was 2.01 miles! I’m quite proud of that.

Do you have any running tips?

•Having an accountability partner helps! •Comfortable shoes and socks •Drink water- it’s all about your hydration even days before •I love my running belt •signing up for a run even if it’s a 5k. Helps bc your training for something I am no expert just started my journey in May myself.

Good running shoes and socks make such a big difference and prevent injury so it’s worth it to invest in them!

I went on my first run this year

2 miles in 35 minutes. I ended up walking for most of it and it was super windy that day. But I like going outside because of the pretty views. I was so, so sore the next day. I used to go more often and had a pretty good time and tolerance, but I stopped for so long and now I’m starting al
