novice notes

some positive things i have experienced as a novice runner:

1. body glide works.

2. as i increase my mileage in my long runs, what once seemed so long (5 miles, for example) is now not.

3. to stop means i might not restart.

4. i am learning to listen to my body. i am learning to speak to my body.

5. i am overwhelmingly proud of myself; possibly more than i have ever been before.

I've been enjoying reading your posts and reliving the beginning through your eyes.

Soon you won't be able to call yourself a novice any more!
