Running

[cjsmith]

Just about two weeks ago, on the weekend, I really overdid it. Ran and square danced and spent two days in a row wandering around shops and a street fair. By Sunday afternoon, pulling my left foot out of my shoe gave me stabbing pains that almost made me yelp. So I skipped running for a while. I didn't even want to WALK for a while.

But! Ran two days ago, ran today. I'm getting back into it. That "overdoing it" wasn't permanent. YAY! And here's the double-yay: for the first time, I really felt like I began to run more easily. Y'know how the first mile's the worst, the last mile's almost the worst, and in between is pretty good? Well, all I get so far is the part that is both the first mile and the last mile! But despite the short distance, I'm loosening up some. This is a very, very good sign for recovering my old fitness level... 'slong as the feet keep holding up!

The first mile was the worst. The next mile was pretty bad, too. After that I went into a bit of a decline...

If you're getting to the point where you might want a running buddy who must also take it easy, I recommend pinging elflet.

Maybe you should borrow my scooter for the fairs. :)
