Running Starts Tomorrow

Tomorrow I'm starting a new running adventure.  I'm going to be taking a "running" class with the Dallas Running Club.  I joined the running club a few weeks back... basically you get free entrance into all of their races, plus a ton of discounts at local "health" establishments.  I'm taking the "beginners" running class... I think it's going to be easy for me... if I do everything I'm supposed to.

So here's to keeping me accountable. For the next 21 days I'm going to wake up at 6:30 and walk/run.
It won't be a strenuous work out, but I'm going to get
 into the habit now before school starts and the runs get longer.  If I don't skip any of the next 21 days I'm going to buy myself a new pair of running shoes... I figure it's fairly necessary since I can't remember the last time I bought new ones.

Oh and my goal... by the end of the class I'm going to run for an hour straight! In the spring, pending no *bumps* in the road, I'll take the half marathon class.

Sounds like a blast!!! I can't wait to start running again. I broke my toe back in June and I have to wait until at least September for it to completely heal before I start again.

I'll just live vicariously through you until then. :)
