Did I really think I could go several months without running? :) This past week I decided to get outside and start moving again, specifically for two main reasons; first- I ate my weight in wonderfully delicious holiday treats over the holidays and two- I simply missed running.
Although I had been dreaming about how wonderful it would be to be out on the trails again, my imagination had me fooled. I can barely run two minutes before I am completely out of breath and I feel like I am the rusty tin man from the Wizard of Oz. My running form from several months ago has been replaced by an awkwardness in my form. Yet I must admit...despite the complaints, it is great to be outside again!!
My new plan is run a few days a week until the end of January (as long is the weather is above freezing) and then I will re-asses my goals when the semester begins.
I hope you have all stayed safe and warm, and enjoyed a wonderful holiday season with your families. Happy Trails in 2005 RBF!
Monday - 28 minutes (total miles = I am to ashamed to admit.)
Tuesday - 28 minutes
Wednesday - 28 minutes
Thursday - below freezing/no running
Friday - I played in the snow for over an hour with the kids I was baby sitting for. That has to count for something right?
Saturday - below freezing/no running
Sunday - 27 minutes
Good Luck to Michelle who is running the Disney Marathon today!!!
