Reason to be Proud: First day of classes and still made it to the gym

For most of you, this probably seems like a very small feat. To me, this is huge! I just started classes again today, and my first class was at 9:30 (keep in mind I haven't woken up before 10 in a month). Then, I went to the bookstore, which was surprisingly hectic, and bought my books and got back to my room around 11:45, when I instantly changed into my running clothes and went to the gym. 

Good workout, I didn't think I would finish it. I started Week 4 of the couch to 5k plan today, so I ran 3 minutes, walked 90 second, ran 5 minutes, walked 2.5 minutes, and then again. During the first five minute run, my left shin felt like shit. It was hard to run on and I started feeling like a big baby. I really didn't think I would go through with the whole thing, but I did and it ended up feeling great in the end. Maybe I am getting a runner's high now. 

Then, I took a shower and went to my next class. I feel great about this, I have to start making the gym part of my normal routine. Whew! Little things we do are the best.
