Couch to 5K
Working on the couch to 5K program. (e:Jolene) is doing one too, but is pretty far along.
I walked to Riverside Park and ran along the river. By ran, I mean jogged, and only when my program told me to run. I've never run outside before. Only hiked. I'd been forbidden from any high impact activity my entire adult life until recently. It was different than a treadmill, without a doubt!
Now I'm all sweaty and headed to the shower. But I'm so happy to see progress that I felt like sharing. At this rate, I'll be able to keep up with (e:Terry) in about 2015...

Dreams
I sleep a lot, and I dream a lot. The more I dream, the more I sleep. I find it amazing entertainment. I seldom have the dreams that bring real life in. I have way out there dreams about things that I've not even seen on the big screen.
This afternoon's nap was set during the industrial revolution, but I was a film noir private detective. And then aliens invaded, and the first wave was fought against holograms.
In the middle of my dream, I woke up to go to the bathroom. I could have stayed up, but this dream was way too interesting. I was able to slip back into my bizarre dreamworld.
If only I was a wordsmith, able to give my dreams life for others. They aren't always this bizarre, but today's was fun. Usually the details slip away even as I am waking up.

And not to sound like a pedant but I would again strongly encourage you to reconsider running as a sport and perhaps switch to power walking for 30 minutes everyday or more, aiming for 10k or even more.. The advantages to walking far outweigh those from running. Add to the gradual injury that running brings to the knees and the foot, and you are looking at a sport with not a lot of benefits in the long run. Pun completely intended.
