yip, I'm feelin it!

So I went out today fully intending on running.  So we woke up late and got a very late start to the day and I was trying to rush.  Rushing never works with kids> anyway, when we got to my friends house the stress from yesterday hit full force.  All in my lower back.  that is where I tend to carry stress and after that I just explode.  So I decided to do a full 2 miles today.  One would be a nice paced walk but enough to get my heart going a bit and the next would be a full on run with a bit of walking.  This is what I did.  On mile 2 I ran 2 minutes and walked one for 10 minutes and then I walked one minute and ran one minute.  It felt good.  I ended up doing about 1/8 mile cool down  because I knew I would hurt if I didn't.  It felt good and some of the tension in my lower back is gone.  I am so thankful I have an outlet now to reduce that stress.  I may end up going back out to help with more of the tension later today.  I keep thinking (even though I try not to) of the 13 miles I have committed to run.  I wonder how it is possible that people do 26?  How will I do 13?  I know I will if it kills me, but it is still perplexing to me at this stage.

P.S. I finished the 2nd mile in 14 1/2 minutes!~!~!~!~!
