On Tuesday, I went for my first run in a little less than a month. Okay, 24 days but who’s counting? My time for the mile really sucked. Just look at those paces! Blah, I actually walked away from that run very disappointed in myself. All of that previous hard work thrown down the drain. Now, I’ll have to start all over. I’ll be training on the treadmill when I can to increase my speed and I’ll be going outside to track my distance. We have 3G where I live now so the tracking is way more accurate.
But even though my time was really horrible, it felt good. It was 100 degrees out, and yet I still felt like it was what I needed. That boost. The feel of the sun on my skin soaking up all that vitamin D. That tired achy feeling that you get when you know you’ve worked out your muscles. I really enjoyed it. And yesterday I couldn’t wait to get back out there. Which is a really good sign, considering my moods lately. :) Thankfully, I haven’t had any back issues either. I’ve been using a back support belt when I run and so far its helped. Here’s hoping it will continue to work long enough to get my ass back into shape. Or at least until I can afford to go see a chiropractor. Until then, slow and steady progress is all I'm asking for.
