I ran today… I completed the Hot Chocolate on Sunday and
Friday(today) is the first time I got outside and ran on pavement since that
time. My knees were pretty tender Monday
and Tuesday and Thursday I kept on the elliptical at the gym. I am really worried about causing an injury, hence the nursing of the knees. But today I just wanted to get outside
and breath some fresh air!
So I did. I bundled
up and told myself... 30 minutes, I can do anything but Rap Music for 30 minutes. I have
started listening to books on tape instead of music because they don’t have a 3
½ minute switch. I find that I play
games with 'one more song then you can walk'.
But with the books, I get really into it and there is no logical
stopping point... so I don't stop!
Today I didn’t want to get to far from home since I had to
be on a conference call in 45 minutes so I just wove up and down the side
streets off my road. That worked out
really well. And I covered more ground
that I would have thought.
My pace was slow, but I didn’t hurt – not one single
step. And I felt great to be outside,
listening to my book (Gone Girl right now) and working up a little sweat. I had a rough day Wednesday and instead of
letting that pull me down I am back at it and moving forward.
Life is good
