day 9

I managed to gather enough energy this morning and went on my usual morning run. Because it was already 7:15am by the time I got out the door I decided to only run for 20 minutes. Anyway, I noticed a tiny bit of progress in me today. I guess I'm getting better into shape. Here's the thing, for now.. I usually run the same route. What I noticed was that I didn't get tired out too quickly. Normally I go up this semi-steep hill right away on my run and normally I'm exhausted half-way through it. Today, I felt fine. I felt like I could get to the top and some more. Anyway, just kind of exciting and neat... it's like, OMG... this isn't too bad. I guess it's semi paying off, sorta I guess.
