Those of you who know me know I have not been the most athletically inclined human being, and only recently (the past few years) has that begun to change.
Well. Yesterday I discovered I can run half a mile. It's a bit better than a light jog (and just to prove I could do it I went on a full run for the last lap), and I wasn't deathly winded, or unable to breathe or walk or function afterwards. I was certainly out of breath, and my heart rate was way up, but I didn't feel like I was going to die.
Damn. I almost cried.
Let's see if next week I can do a mile.
