Shut up and run, Wannabe

Too much thinking on my last post. I've decided I can't change everything overnight; I will run longer stretches (thanks, JavaMom) but will surely still need [less frequent] walk breaks since I am a newbie pushing-40-adult-onset-athlete-wannabe-HMer.

In short, I am just going to shut up and run for a while.

Here are the stats for today's SUPER daylight run:
3 miles
39:18 (13:06/mile)

No walk breaks today, woo hoo. 5 yr old son was "helping" me by counting down my laps, running around the track himself and giving me hugs at the end of each lap--between his running with me holding my hand and "racing" the various runners and walkers on the local track, the kid seriously must have done two miles. And somehow, the men playing football on the field and the other grownups circling the track, well, they all knew his name by the end of our time there because he was a pip:-)

In conclusion, it was not a fast run, but a a solid jog and a priceless 39 minutes of mommy-son time:-)
