Walking the dogs

I walked the dogs in the rain and it was a little chilly. My goal was to walk the dogs as a warm-up and then go into a 5k when they were warm and toasty inside. It was too cold and rainy for me. Actually, it was a little depressing how out of shape I am. I will say that it is me out of shape as opposed to anything the wrong with my heart. That is always a fear. Why would I be out-of-breath. I wasn't really out-of-breath, more like just demoralized because I have a lot of work to do before those 10 miles in April. I would like to complete a 2 hour run by the end of March so that I know I can do it. I'm not the fastest outside, so who knows what 2 hours equates to in mileage. At this point I don't even want to guess. Every time I think of getting swept I end up not going to the starting line. This is the 4th or 5th time I entered the Cherry Blossom race, and I will finish it this year.

Also, after watching Spirit of the Marathon I know that after one race there is always another. The Cherry Blossom run will not be the end of a goal, but rather one of the benchmarks. Wish me luck!
