Best laid plans


I was going to start walking, along with the ELCA's Here I Step plan for Lent. Yesterday, we did walk the daily 2 miles on this route.




















Today, I had the brilliant idea to run. The much shorter route you see here is as far as I got. 1 mile. And I'm utterly zonked. And I've got fluid in my lungs! I mean, what's up with that!?! I'm coughing, hurting in my throat and wiped out.

Rob says I should have started slower. How slow should I start? I don't know what slow is, when it comes to running. I mean, I was an actual runner in high school. Mostly sprint but I did do cross-country as well. Could I be that delicate, just shy of 2 decades later?
