As most of you know I started running last week. I am happy to report I stuck to my schedule of running Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and doing exercise video's Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
I doing a program where you slowly work up the time long you run for. So I have been walking one minute than running one minute, for about 15 minutes. Plus a five minute walk to warm up, and a five minute walk to cool down.
This is what I have learned, that if I either forget my timer, or accidentally forget to hit the start button, it's alright. I just need to listen to my body. I know this means that there maybe times when I walk for more than a minute and run for less than a minute. I am fine with that, because I am still doing it. I am still trying, and still pushing myself. I am not doing this for other people, I am doing it for me.
I know that there are going to be a few people out there that feel they should give me advise, all I can say to that is, please keep your comments to yourself. I am not planning on running a marathon, ever. I am not planning on ever running any race. I am simply running to relieve stress. Please understand, I am not saying this to be rude, I am saying this because I am not you. I have my own way of doing things. If you do decide to give me your advise anyway, please know that I may not do what you tell me.
I am happy to announce that by running, working out, and taking the Sam-e, my mood is better. I am not seeing it drop so much at night. It is still not always great, and things still affect me greatly, but it is better.

Good for you! I would rather die than run. I HATE it.
Emily, I don't really enjoy it, but I needed something I could do that didn't require a gym, and got me outside.
