I was SO SLOW, though. Exactly 1.5 miles in 30 minutes, and everyone around me at the gym was just zipping by. I'm just as nervous to go back today (Wednesday) for my second run, to be honest. Stupid Air Force gym & everyone else already being all fit. :-(Nicole (Life's a Batch)http://lifesabatch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-59857405276087323922012-04-24T13:33:39.069-04:002012-04-24T13:33:39.069-04:00This is my first comment/reply ever on here.
