Can we say Addicted!.......

I drove myself to Rich East High School and ran the track for the first time, one early Saturday morning and I ran a mile!!! Yes, very proud of myself, pat on the back! I went a few Saturday's after this and kept running the mile and would increase the mile a little bit at a time. 

Finally, I spoke with my cuz (Cookie) and told her that I couldn't quite get pass the mile marker. She said, lets meet up and I can show you how to run distance, without sounding like a no it all. I agreed, but was nervous all at the same time! 

We met one evening after work at Vollmer Road Trail, which is 3.6 miles. We ran how she runs and yes I struggled a little bit, but I made it through! When we made it back to the start line, you would've thought I had did the full marathon! That's just how much love my cuz showed me and I was so proud of myself! We gave high fives and everything else! lol...She was very encouraging! 

I did it!
