day off did aot of good

I started off today and didn't think I would go very far as my back was feeling sore but my ah felt fine.  Taking a day off did me a world of good as much as I hated to.
TY all for your concerns. One thing I like about running is that it speeds up my metabolism and makes me heal fast.  I started off slow and my backache went away and I did 2.2 miles. About 11 minutes for the first mile which is fast for me, being 40 pounds overweight.
I am setting a new goal to go 3 miles within a month.
Thanks for all the support. When I run, I feel as though I am being carried on the shoulders of my ds friends who have me in their thoughts and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
