Got Running?

The answer for me right now is: yes I do. I am in my 3rd week of consistent running. I started the first week with 10 miles (3, 3 and 4) and then progressed to 12 miles (3, 4 and 5) last week. This week, I am scheduled to run 14 miles (4, 4 and 6). I ran four miles on Wednesday on the track and the treadmill at the gym and I'm planning to do four miles outside on Friday and then six miles on Sunday. I plan to add about two miles each week to my total until I hit twenty miles per week. At that point, I am going to start looking for a goal race and I'll begin training.

It's amazing the difference that running makes. I have more energy, seem to need less sleep, I feel better and I haven't had a headache for several weeks. There for a while, I was getting headaches nearly every day.
