Ran outside for the first time since last summer... needless to say, I am not in peak shape at the moment! There are many ways in which running on a treadmill is completely different from running in real life, most notably the complete lack of water, and the presence of hills, pedestrians, and bad pavement. Julie, I feel about 1 billionth of your pain (well, actually, I probably feel 1 billion times more of that pain because you're in that much better shape than I am!). It's going to be a long road, but I have a partner to run with at work now, and feel like I can tackle it - one clumsy step at a time. I think we topped out at about 3 miles and, unlike the treadmill, I had to stop a couple times to walk. Embarrassing, but it's a start.
In other news, the weather was beautiful. More of this, please!

don't sweat it! walk before you need to. get used to water every 5 mi or so. and just enjoy the scenery! if you want to run part of the 18 with me this saturday, lemme know. it'd be sloooooow...
I'd definitely be down with meeting you somewhere. Give me an idea of where and when and I just might drop in (if I'm not helping C move at that point!)
Dude! I also had an embarassingly lame run last Tuesday! Mine ended even more abruptly than I had hoped, thanks to a phone call that I had to take (yeah, I had my phone with me). But yeah. I was pitiful.
