I really want to run in the snow, while it's snowing, but it hasn't snowed here. :-( I'm thinking that we won't have snow this year, and my desire to run while it's snowing will have to wait till next year! :-(<br /><br />I found when I started running that most of my difficulties were all mental. It was made very clear to me when I had been running a full 2 miles on a different route than I started, and then I went back to my first route and suddenly I felt like I couldn't run the whole 2 miles. I found myself wanting to stop at my old resting spots. It was completely all in my head. :-) Good job controlling your breathing and getting out there!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996781899131093750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-9433244413970374832013-02-04T14:59:08.774-05:002013-02-04T14:59:08.774-05:00A lot of times that sort of crazy breathing is bec...A lot of times that sort of crazy breathing is because you're running too fast, believe it or not. That will also cause walking episodes LOL! Don't worry about speed just yet, only worry about running the prescribed minutes and pay no attention to pace. You'll get there, I promise!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308631304554235792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-64343633341272575442013-02-03T23:03:40.146-05:002013-02-03T23:03:40.146-05:00Taking that first step is always the hardest!

I find it scary. When I read people say they're going for a run I both admire and envy them because I have this mental block to even try to take up running.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-37286639551782043372013-02-03T12:48:06.038-05:002013-02-03T12:48:06.038-05:00Yes! yes! yes! you can do it!
