day 1 training

Well, today is the official first day of my half marathon training.  I will be training for 20 weeks to run in a Half Marathon in Las Vegas on Dec 4th.  Of course i do run and work out but I am so out of shape, I am also hoping to drop some of the weight I have managed to gain, this will be a bonus, as I am goning to concentrate on the running first and formost.  I have a 2.5 run today, I am going to run this afternoon or later tonight.  I am a morning runner but all things planned usually don't happen just the way you expect.  I have my granddaughter with me this morning.  Had she brought her sneakers I could have had her come with me!  Well, I am spending the morning with her then off to work.  :) 
I will update later with my time and so on. 
Update:   ran 2.5 miles in 27:14 in the heat of this afternoon!  (5 pm)  man it is hot.  felt a bit of a twinge in the knee, but it is okay now.  i did walk a bit.  not much.   i practiced my "leaning forward and making sure my knee and hip lined up!"   see ya tomorrow.
