80 Degrees

It was 80 Degrees Fahrenheit when I returned home from a 3 mile run at 7:10 am!!. That's right, 7:10 am. I met my friend Lisa at 6:30 and somehow managed to run 3 miles in under 45 minutes! Things I've learned since I started running 3 weeks ago:

1. A good, non-sliding, absorbent headband is imperative.
2. The tiny tiny hair clips do a great job holding bangs back.
3. Pace yourself.
4. I wish I had an iPod shuffle. The video one is sort of big, and the armband holder sort of feels like a blood pressure cuff. Is it good to have something constricting my arm when I'm running? Who knows.
5. It's too hot to wear a sports bra AND a shirt. I'm ditching the shirt next time. Not really an attractive look, but more comfortable.
6. There's nothing worse than climbing 32 stairs after a 3 mile run, just to get in the front door. I should leave a bottle of water at the bottom of the stairs.

I've also signed up for 3 days a week of water aerobics and 1 day a week of Pilates, all at the Y. I'm determined to lose some weight this summer, at the risk of not having a social life!
