Treadmill competition results

Four weeks ago I was talking with my friend Kristen at church and we decided to be accountable to one another about our exercise. She set the bar at 2 miles a day or at least 10 miles a week with the prize of free baby sitting. I said "your on!!" Well I huff and puffed my way to victory! Now, I have a lot more to lose and my life is not as busy as hers at this point but I won none the less. We checked in weekly to give an account until the final week and then it was anybodies game. I started out the month with walking a 20 min. mile and can now say that I repeatedly walk 17 min. miles. I have to run for like a minute to get it down to that time and these chubby legs feel the workout. The final week I logged 18 miles. I would like to report a significant weight loss but my body is letting go very slowly. I'm getting killer calves (who cares) and my lungs are stronger (at least I can breath after running for one minute). The dilemma I have is when do I want to use my free baby sitting and where do I want to spend my time away.

This is my log in this morning. I think I can eat breakfast
now.
