at 7:00 this morning, it was 71 degrees. Thunderstorms are brewing, but I checked the radar to make sure I wouldn’t get caught in a thunderboomer.
So today I ran outside for the first time in a month. Wow, did it suck. LOL First of all, I had some, um, Mother Nature issues to contend with, so I only ran for about 15 minutes. It was a hard 15 minutes. Faux-jogging at its finest. But I managed to trek on for a 45 minute walk. It felt great being outside. The warm wind and humid air were comforting.
Faux-jogging outside kinda depressed me. I’ve been doing so well in the gym. I enjoyed my denial…that I was actually improving. Hah! All I could think while I was struggling “What kind of fresh hell is this?” Now the 10K goal seems like a distant dream. I don’t know if 3 months is enough time to get my ass ready. But we’ll see. I’ll just keep on plugging away. Maybe I need to start doing two-a-days. Mornings in the gym, afternoons outside…
Dude, you are awesome. AWESOME!
keep up the great work. you can do it (said w/ a cajun accent)
