I'm so happy. Started increasing by 10% last week and I feel GREAT. Today did almost 3 miles on the dreadmill, and at no point did I feel bad. In fact, my legs felt great. I also got on the bike for the first time yesterday (I know, it's shameful), and no residual pain except for the usual early season butt-adjustments.

So this week its three runs at 2.9 miles and then next week I can do a 5k! Once I get to 3 mile runs I'm very psyched because I can run outside during work. I hate the treadmill, especially in this spring weather when it's warm and balmy and sunny out.

I'm also psyched to ramp up the miles because I've been having a bad body image week, aided by the possibility that my pants I'm wearing today may have shrunk. I feel like I gained weight and feel gross all around, but I don't really think I have, so hopefully it's the pants.

Cross my fingers, anyway.
