Yes, I know. 2 posts in 1 day is a bit much, but hey, I'm on a roll.
This evening I went out on my first run in ages. I learned a couple of things. 1. I really really need new running shoes. 2. Running isn't as bad as I remember it--it's actually kind of fun.
I'd been wanting to run around the local park for a while. It's about a mile away from my apartment, and roughly a half-mile around so in total I ran 2.6 miles. I only did a 10-minute per mile pace, but it was nice to run in the evening air, especially since I was sore from my workout yesterday. (Zumba is killer, man.) I figure if I run 2 or 3 evenings per week I should be able to work up to running further and faster pretty quickly. Last time I ran with any frequency I was doing 4.1 miles with slight hills, albeit at a slow pace.
Now I am sitting down to a tasty parfait that I made before I left as incentive to get myself out the door. Fresh berries and greek yogurt with just a little bit of sugar on top. Mmmm. Success!
