That looks like a really good run! I wonder if DH could get the time away from work so I can run Disney World...

first outdoor run was a bust ...
a combination of too many new things.. new shoes (tied too tight I think), new trail, trail with slight inclines, DH and DD were with me, too much of a distraction I think, I didnt properly stretch..
too many excuses. :( next time I need to just suck it up and run. I
feel like crap that I couldn't do it. I did get a nice mile walk in,
but that's not any consolation..

Not that much of a bust though, if you think about it. Marathoners usually scope out where they'll be running prior to race day, so just think of it that way. You know what you need to do for next time, and you're going to push through like the trooper you are. I'm so excited for you. Just remember, get in some proper stretch time, laces not too tight, and there are going to be inclines, but there will also be downhill slopes too. Don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing great!

losing- can I just say you are an inspiration to many.. you have accomplished much and continue to persevere thru all of this! good luck to you on this journey-not only will you accomplish a fabulous goal you have set for yourself, but in your training your pounds will be melting off.
