Running yay!

I went for a run this morning (Week 2 Day 1 of the C25K program) absolutely dreading it. Friday wasn't a great run, and today I went to 90 seconds of jogging (doesn't sound like much, but feels like it when you first get going). But I was a good girl and I didn't chicken out! So I went for my run.
IT WAS FAB. I found that my pace last week was really too fast for me at the moment, so I slowed it to a bouncy jog and - whoosh! Time just flew. My breathing was fast but even, I managed to get up a couple of light inclines (hit the steep hills just as the Walk beep came on), and when I finished my final walk I could definitely have gone on jogging for 20 minutes, easy.
I'm so surprised that I actually enjoyed the running. More than just being self-satisfied like last week, I liked going out into the countryside and moving my body (and meeting such adorable dogs; OMG want).
January so far has rocked.
ETA: Entirely unrelated to the above, but -
Dear Hollywood,
Please to be making a movie with both Chris Pine and Jensen Ackles in it. I mean, Jesus H. Christ.
That is all.
