I'M BACK...FROM A MUCH NEEDED REST DAY....

I have officially declared Sunday my day of rest from running but I think I will still work out...maybe walking...Just morning I got out of bed at 4am so I could have 30 minutes of silence too myself..Then I woke my husband up who have now become my coach/runner partner...But I got to say today was hard, for the first 5 minutes of my run I was barely making it...but I ran through it and by the time I was half way around I felt better...I  promised myself too go a little farther everyday...my goal for the end of July is too run 2 miles..I mastered one mile quicker than I thought...so I hope 2 miles come that fast as well.. The scale is not my friend..I weighed myself Sunday and was very disappointed in the number that I saw..I couldn't help comparing my new running self too my old running self..I'm exactly a hundred pounds heavier than I was 16 years ago and it may me feel ridiculous...all I kept thinking is what are you doing out here trying to run well over 200pounds....It took a lot of mental conversation with myself to put that out of my head...but the irony of it all is that I didn't feel that way about running at over 200 pounds before I got on that damn scale...
