Let's see how long this lasts . . .

So . . . my cousin calls me up Wednesday and tells me she wants to start running.  She says, "If you can do it, I can do it"!

I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or not . . .

Anyway, as I'd previously posted, I gave her the training guide.  I needed to start slow anyway to see if my foot would cause me problems so I went with her.  We did about a 30 minute run (1 minute run, 2 minute walk, 10X).  I think it may have been a bit more.  We did a little over two miles.

I never got to the point where I was sloggin' through the run.  It was barely a warm-up.  And you know, that was actually perfect.  I'm going to do that again tonight before I start my real run.  I'll probably cut it down some or maybe do 3/1 instead of 1/2 for 30 minutes.  I'll see how I feel when I start.

I know when the time comes for the SVHM, at least I know I'll be able to finish it with no pain.  I won't be exhausted and I'll be able to finish it fine.  I still have a hope that I'll be able to finish in 2:30.  If not, no biggie.  I'll definitely be enjoying the run more than last year!
