From Treadmill to Track to Trails
I was up at 4:45 this morning.
Black Girls Run! Are in my area and we had a scheduled run this morning at 5:30 at Mt. Trashmore. The run went so well that we’re going to get together every Wednesday for this sunrise run.
Cool.
Ever since I started running I ran alone and I really appreciate being able to run with other people. No pressure, just motivation. I was scared that I would be left in the dust of all these seasoned runners. Turns out, some have only been running for as long as I have. They are all talking about running half marathons – and I’m totally not on that level but who knows? Apparently, there is a half-marathon in Puerto Rico in November that they are interested in. I’d love to go to Puerto Rico. Running a half marathon? I’ll get back to you on that one.
I find it amazing the progress that I’m making. From casual running on a treadmill to running around the track to running real trails. For me, it’s a metaphor for life. One step leads to another and before you know it, you’re farther than you ever imagined you would be.

One step huh...you always drop good advice (but the skeptic in me says BUT THAT STEP IS SO FAR AWAY!!!!!)
How cool is THAT?
Good for you!
I can't do that running thang. LOL. Just give me a stair climber and I'm good. I admire anyone who can run for miles, which I could if I had to, but I'm a wuss.
Hats off to you! Do it!
