A big week!

Today starts week 5. Today I did three five-minute runs while walking three minutes between each. I did 2.07 miles in 31 minutes. It felt really good. I got a good sweat going, I've never exercised indoors and sweat so much my shirt was wet.


I've decided that my first official run will be in April, rather then May. On April 7th in Tempe I'll be participating in Pat's Run . It's 4.2 miles to support the Pat Tillman Foundation. If you don't know who he is, follow the link at the top of the run page for the foundation. I was a graduate student at ASU when he played there. His decision to turn down a huge NFL contract for military service was huge news here and I respected him so much. It was his death that really brought the reality of the was in Iraq home for me. I felt like I lost somebody I knew and it was heartbreaking.
