Although I intended to run for 30 minutes today, my original plan was to do it in 5 minute blocks followed by 1 minute of walking. When I headed out the door though, I was feeling frustrated and decided to take it out on my running. My running clothes were all in the laundry so I was wearing a cotton T-shirt, dance pants, and thick hiking socks. I was worried that the change in clothing would make it difficult to run (which didn’t happen, but BOY, WAS IT HOT!).
As it turned out, today’s run was easier than yesterday’s 28 minutes. I don’t normally run two days in a row, so it was a pleasant surprise. I normally have a stitch in my side before I’m even done with my warmup and today it didn’t happen until I’d been running for 25 minutes. I had a cracked femur 20 years ago which still aches from time to time, and it did today, but it really was hardly worth mentioning.
I ran the entire 30 minutes & now I know I’ll do it every time. It’s no longer a question of whether I’ll be able to do it, but rather how it will feel and what I’ll do when I’m done. It’s pretty exciting.
Today’s mileage: 3.3 miles
