Just a side note towards my project, I am not what you would call a very experienced runner. My running history consists of running when I feel like it (basically about 3 times a month). When I do go running I run around my neighborhood, or rather try to run because where I live is hilly to say the least. What I hope to get out of this project is to not only become a better runner, but learn self discipline and self motivation.


So, anyways... after being sick for about 3 weeks, I finally went running today around the Rose Bowl. My school schedule is pretty great because I have most afternoons free, which allows me to go running more often! I started out my run with a brisk warm up walk and then got around to running probably 2/10 of a mile later (just an estimate). I started running at a medium to fast speed but then realized that if I was going to make it around the 3.1 mile loop of the Rose Bowl, I needed to slow myself down and stay at a comfortable and steady pace. I would have to say that I jogged about 2/3 of the loop (again just an estimate) and felt pretty good after. I ended my jog by strolling back to my car and then stretching.
