trying to be a runner....again

i am currently weighing in as much as i ever have before. this numbers is not something that i am thrilled about. i am still getting people at work asking me how much i have lost but it is just on the days that i tuck my shirt in. i hate to tuck my shirt in, however to fool these idiots, i must continue to tuck my shirt in. this will only work for a while. As many of you know, Roger, the guy i took over for in purchasing is back. things here are great with him back. at first i wasn't thirilled but because it is Roger, it has been a blessing in disguise. any whoooo, he is an avid runner. marathons 10k, 5k blah blah blah... it got me interested. it has been a long time since i have gone out to run. i always liked it but at that point was skinny and active and never had a reason. shin splints also stopped me quick only to find that is mostly a shoe issue. i have no problem buying a new pair of shoes. hell, i did that this weekend. so with talking to Roger and the help of Runners world online, i figured out a routine that takes 5 days a week for 10 weeks to get you to the point of stepping out the door and go run. Sunday i strapped on my adidas and did a little strechy strechy and went on my walk. yes yes, it seems dumb but week 1 is 4 minutes of walking and 2 minutes of running doing that 5 times. it seemed so dumb. who can't run for 2 minutes?!?!?!? HOLY CRAP, THAT IS A LONG TIME!!!!!! i did good. started my first run at to fast a pace and that kind of screwed me for the first time out but i got it under control. today came the real kicker.....i woke up at 5 a.m. and went for my little one man journey. slight drizzle cannot stop this man, however the big loose dog did make me tweak my route but i have no set path so it's fine. i had a good time. switched to my nike's this morning which was more comfortable also. got back to the house at 5:50 and tried to stop sweating before i hopped in the shower but that didn't work. i will take tuesdays and fridays off and keep pushing myself beyond that. i will now open the floor to accept questions.........
