Long( and less long runs) 2/19-2/25

Today was pretty good! I was proud of myself, sometimes it's hard to make myself go run in the morning when I'm not at my house and I'm visiting my parents, but I woke up at 7 a.m. and went running shortly thereafter without a second thought, just put on my clothes and went out. I ran an unspecified distance around some nearby neighborhoods and on streets, it was my first time running on roads and it felt pretty odd... I'm much more comfortable on my bike on roads. I guess I feel less vulnerable with my bike under me. I ran the loop I had chosen in an okay amount of time, about 40 minutes, actually it was kinda slow, but I didn't feel at all tired at the end and could have continued at that pace forever it seemed. Drove the loop with my car later and it was 3 miles, so it was better than i was fearing and worse than I'd hoped!

Still, about 2 miles more than I had run the last time I ran in that area, and I didn't have to stop at all the entire time... it was a good way to wake up!

So that's 11 miles total for me this week! Woo!

Great job on getting up early and running! Sounds like you had a really nice run.

Hi ladies! I went for a second run today. My first was at least a month ago. Anyway, I decided to try running for 1km to see if I could do it. I could! I was at work and had about 15 minutes to kill so I figured I may as well exercise. 3 1/2 laps around our school is 1km. I am going to join the school running club in the spring and run with the kids. Maybe I can get my son to join too. I'd love to be be able to do a triathlon someday....
