I'm running again
Four miles yesterday. Only two and a half this morning. But it's a start. It's been too long since I consistently ran, and the number of times I've started up and stopped is beginning to piss me off. Even with the little bit of running I've done over the past three days, my legs are aching and sore (and it feels wonderul) and I'm remembering why I enjoyed running so much.
One of these reasons is that the only competition I've got is myself. I'm not racing anyone. At times, I'm not even running with anyone. So all I've got are my previous paces and times, and the knowledge that if I can keep at it, I can improve. Weird motivation, huh?
My current schedule is here for any who are interested, although since I completed this schedule last year, I feel as though maybe I should bump up to the next level.
