Easing into running

[annie]

So much great advice! Which I need. I don't want to do something stupid and then quit running. I am starting to enjoy it a little bit more. Tho' I just got back from a run and today, it was tough!! I don't know why, didn't do anything too long or difficult. My legs felt good but my aerobic system just didn't want to keep up. I did a slightly longer, hillier run on Wed. Didn't do anything yesterday - had a migraine. I wonder if both those things made it harder today. Or maybe I just had a bad day. IDK! I'll be on the bike this weekend, but back to the running next week. So much easier, time-wise, to fit in a run than a bike ride.

First run for this week and I decided it was time to pick up the pace just a little bit. I didn't have time to add any extra miles, so am hoping the slightly faster pace was a good idea. Guess I'll know by tomorrow if I am sore! I am NOT a fast runner. I am usually happy with a 10 minute mile. And this isn't for a long distance! I'm only up to 4 1/2 miles. In any case, it was cold today! And I didn't dress warm enough but did not have time to go home and add more layers. I decided if I went faster, I'd get warm. So I pushed my pace. Finished my 5K with just slightly over 8 min. miles. I was thrilled!!! I hope I do not pay for it tomorrow. We'll see.......

This is almost starting to be fun!
