Well, Tues. evening I overdid things at the gym, and woke up really stiff and sore the next morning. So I decided to flip my Wed. and Thurs. workouts, with the easy 4 miles on Wed. and the intervals today. But this morning I woke up even more sore than yesterday, so no run, just a long walk with my dog. So now, I'm thinking of trying a bit of an interval workout on the treadmill at the gym after my yoga class. We'll see....
The treadmill is dreadful, but then so is doing 40 laps of the 200 yd track in my neighborhood!
But the cool thing is that while out with my dog, I had a nice conversation with an older gentleman who's usually out walking at the same time I'm running. He's inspiring-- after he had a minor heart attack last winter, he made a committment to getting into better shape. Now he's walking 2 to 4 miles 6 days a week; he's dropped nearly 50 lbs and is better health than in decades. After months of waves and "good mornings" as I pass him, it's just awesome to get to know him a bit...Last edited by skhill; 09-09-2010 at 09:39 AM. Reason: posted before done...

Just logged today's run, and noticed something awesome-- I've run 1000.1 miles this year!
and it was just about 2 years ago that I first tried this running thing, hoping to maintain the fitness and weight-loss of a summer spent on my bike. Well, it's done that, and more... it took about 6 weeks before I could make it a whole mile without a walk break, and now 3 miles is an unusually short run....

I did 23 today. It was a beautiful day and more than 15° cooler than my last long run, but I was still super slow.
Not quite sure what's going on.
