Well, I went for my walk, and I ended up running about 1/3 of the way!! I've doubted my abilities to run, because I'm still over 200 pounds, and I hate how various parts of my body jiggle when I run. LOL!! Also, when you have a large chest, running may not always be the exercise of choice...EVEN with a sports bra! Andre has been trying to get me to run with him, although he doesn't pressure me...if we do go exercise together, it's usually a brisk walk or sometimes rollerblading. I think my reluctance to run stems from elementary school and high school. Sometimes we would go out and run, but I always had to stop and walk after a short distance, because I was so out of shape. It was quite embarassing, to say the least. My family was the couch-potato type instead of the exercising type, and I SWEAR when I have kids, it'll be the other way around! I just thought to myself, after seeing someone else jogging past me, that it couldn't hurt to try. So I tried. And I lasted a lot longer than I thought I would! I practically ran the whole way back, except for up a hill, which is challenging just to walk up right now. Usually the whole walk takes about 24 minutes, but this time it took about 20, which means I probably ran for about 4 minutes. That's a lot for me!! Maybe next time I walk that route, I'll try running again and see if I can go longer. I was very proud of myself afterwards! 2 cars even passed me, and even though I felt silly and jiggly, I still kept on going! If I can start jogging, the jigglyness will go away soon! Woohoo!! ~Sabrina
