January Thaw... 1/8 through 1/14 runs!

I ran again today. 1 min walk, 1 min run. I went after school. I was tired. It was just barely above freezing. The roads were snowy and icey. It was windy. My legs hurt. Then it started to sleet.

But I enjoyed it in an odd sort of way. I feel so good when I get back to school and people say "Did you go for a run?!!". Yeah, I did!!!!

Went swimming afterwards. I tired.

I ran 2 1/2 miles on Sunday, making that my second run in 13 years! The weather was rather icky (rain/snow mix), but it was nice to be outside on a day that I would have otherwise been homebound. For the first 2 miles or so, I stayed with some friends who run at a pretty slow pace. For the last half mile or so, I picked it up and finished feeling pretty good.

I did a half hour of intervals on the treadmill twice last week, too, and that must have helped because I wasn't sore at all during or after Sunday's run. I'm actually looking forward to running at this point, which is a good sign.
This weekend, however, the temps are supposed to drop below zero, and I'm not sure I have the fortitude to run when it's that cold. I may opt for the treadmill.
