1 week old tri-training baby

FIRST JOG IN 4 YEARS.....WENT A LITTLE LIKE THIS: walked down lane as warm-up (.2 miles) and turned right to head for stop sign 1.5 miles away. My Goal: to jog to that stupid azz stop-sign without stopping....surely i could do that? Instead: turned right out of drive and started jogging, ipod on, dog doing fine. Right ear piece keeps slipping out, every other step. Three times i stop to replace, three times cursing at dog to quit straining while i try to replace ear piece. I'm not even 100 feet away from drive way, this isn't a good sign. So Screw it, i says to myself, and put enitire thing in pocket which i feel is better thing to do then to stomp on it and jump up and down while screaming which is what i wanted to do....Back to jogging: i make it about 750 feet to top of little hill by Penny's meadow, i slow to walk. I'm so pathetic. I reexamine my goal of jogging to stop-sign. I think, "i haven't jogged in 4 years, so if it's a walk-jog then it's a walk-jog and screw that too." So i finish the rest of the gradual hill past Penny's meadow walking, regain control of my breathing and pick up the pace again, i make it to Shenks mailbox and then i walk to the best little landscaped house on the street and then jog to the intersection.....then walk the whole way to hard bend....Then jog down huge rollercoaster hill fighting extreme pain in right hip and numbness in feet, i make it part way up the opposing hill, walk to rutherfords and then....then....

Miracle of all miracles, I gain some mental control of myself and remember from way back in HS when i ran cross-country and I had to make it past that point where it wasn't hard, it was a habit, just a continuous motion and an easy breathing and so....i jog to the stop-sign, turn around and jog the entire way home (which the hills are much more in my favor this direction so that definitely helps. I happen to live around some of the worst hills in my area) my feet are numb, both hips start hurting, i''m thinking this is a definite shoe issue, my knee felt great, i threw up a little in my mouth around the Lefer Van but kept it going including going UP the enire rollercoaster hill and several other minor ones....Walked .2 miles up lane as cool down.

So final outcome: a 3.4 walk/jog. I estimate i walked about 1.4 of those miles and ran about 2. That is a 13.24 mile/hour pace. And you want to know the good news about that??? All i can do is improve from here... GOAL - 9 min mile, which means i need to shave 4.24 mins off my time which means I need to better my time each month by 37 seconds.
