Week 1, day 2

This time I took John with me, which was a bad idea because he's all tall and slim and I felt like a bulldog trying to compete with a gazelle running down a sidewalk near a trailer park in the dark and humid night. So many parts of me bounce.

Week 1, day 1

After trying the free app, I spent the $2 on the real deal and started the Couch to 5k program. I am overweight, female, and live in MN.

The first day, I walked and "jogged" at night, because I didn't want anyone to see me running. It bothers me that I am embarrassed about running at nighttime, and also afraid of being raped if I run at nighttime. Still, I ran at night.

It was humid, MN spring having finally started sprouting green things and heat, and it felt as though I was running through Jello.

Probably strawberry flavored.

I need better running shoes.
