Still Excited!

One hour at they gym made up for yesterday. Yes I did not go and because I said no excuses, I will not even write it down. It didn't happen but I feel like I made up for yesterday today. I didn't really feel the workout but I made myself stay. I decided to run/walk 3 miles and then experiment with the incline on the treadmill. The run/walk was done more to get my heart rate up and then down and then up again. I hear this is a pretty good cardio workout so why not. I see people on the treadmill with a pretty high incline. I decided since there weren't too many people there I would go ahead and give it a try. I'm always afraid of trying something new when others are around just because I'm afraid of looking silly. Speaking of looking silly, I don't know why I thought I would be able to take a sip of my water while running at a pretty good pace. I guess my brain forgot to tell my arm to stop moving back and forth because it didn't. My arm tried to shove that water bottle into my face causing water to splash on me. I think the man a couple of treadmills saw me. Thank you to him for not laughing out loud! So anyway I did the incline and got brave. Put that bad boy to 6 which is steep for me. I was going along nicely thinking how easy it was. Then that minute hit and so did the feeling! I was actually enjoying it! I decided to walk fast with it up and then put it down and then back up and down. I felt that I got a pretty good workout. One of my fears is that the treadmill will go faster than me and I will go flying off the treadmill...it could happen. BTW...I'm still feeling the excitement about this marathon. I am so excited for the moment when I can say "I completed my first Marathon!" I'm tired and ready to relax with a glass of wine and call it a night.
