A teeny run

[cjsmith]

This morning I bit the bullet and went for a short run. According to Mapquest, I went a total of 0.6 miles. (I'm guessing it's closer to half a mile, but hey.) I was wheezing and red-faced and slow. My feet hurt with every step. But I ran, or at least jogged, and so far this fact has caused neither death nor dismemberment.

It is important to note that I was wearing antlers at the time. I wore them because they are attached to ear-warmers; I faithfully note it here because it is silly.

Hurray! Good for you, C.J. And I would *love* to see a picture of you running with antlers...

Thank you! :-) The antlers are smallish, but still amusing. I bought them in Finland. I would put a link to a web page here, but I have so far been completely unable to find them via Google. (Whaddya search for, "antlers"? In English or in Finnish? Heh.)

Yay!!!

You are very silly. :)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I like a bit of silly now and then, yes. ;-)

Thanks! :)

Yay! You go, girl!

(I love to run. I hated having to quit. I really, really, really hope you can run again.)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Oh no! ...what made you have to quit? I'm sad for anyone who loves to run and for some reason can't or shouldn't do it. :-(

yay :)

Thanks!

Congratulations on your return to running.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I paid for it this weekend though. I'll try again another time when I won't spend the weekend standing up!

Speaking of exercise, I went out between passes today and walked 2+ miles at a "forced march" pace. The ball of my right foot is a little sore right now, but it felt good otherwise.

Good for you! I hope you don't ache much tomorrow, either.

Congrats on your return to running, and on not overdoing it.

Wearing antlers rocks!

Thanks! Hee, I love those antlers.

Yay for at least getting through a short run. Would've loved to have seen the antlers. ;-)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I did pay for it this weekend, sadly, so I'll have to try again at a time when I won't spend the weekend standing up...

Hooray!

You need to post pics of the antlers. I must see them.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I'll see if I can get Rob to donate web space temporarily. :-)

[katestine.livejournal.com]

That rocks. Congrats!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I paid for it this weekend though. grrrrrr!

[sunnydale47.livejournal.com]

Woo-hoo! That's terrific!

Antlers ... pictures, pictures, please!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I'll see if I can beg some temporary web space. :)

Congrats on the run! I'm glad it went well, and I hope you didn't pay any appreciable penalty for it over the weekend.

But, mostly, thank you for the mental image! I owe you one big, much-needed smile. :)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Sadly, I did pay, though it's hard to tell whether I would have been pretty sore anyway (this weekend I spent a lot of time on my feet). Another try later...

You're very welcome for the smile! :-)
