And that goal: Be able to run a mile faster than I did when I was in high school.. which was 9:10 (as I recall). Yesterday was a beautiful day.. cold, but beautiful. So I took the moment and went for a jog. Normally, I hate jogging, but as of late, I find myself more open to all areas of physical activity. And in the end, I quite enjoyed it (especially how I felt after). Grant it, it was only 20 minutes.. and yes, I did walk a small portion of it.
Then today, I discovered the "dare" section on livestrong.com. Essentially, you can take on different dares (and give them as well). So I took the dare to run every day! Then mother dearest and I went to the gym (I had to drag her..heheheh) and I got my run in. 2 miles in 20 minutes.. not so bad, especially since I'm not a runner. Though if I keep this up, I just might become one sooner than I think! :D
My cold is almost gone... All I have left is a little cough now and again.. and sneeze now and again.. and snot that's more like glue than anything else. Oh.. and little red spots EVERYwhere (which happens now everytime I get sick). Oh platelets, how to tease me so. I don't know the current count, but it is down down down for sure. I get really light headed whenever I stand up when they get really low... and that's currently happening... sooo.. yeah.... My guess is high teens, perhaps. I went and bought a bunch of celery to help get them up a little after this illness.
But besides that, I feel wonderful. Ahhhh. :D
