Running #3

I ran again, yesterday; third time this week. All is still going well. I can sure feel the workout in various parts of my body but no pain, just aches from working parts of me that have not worked since dirt was new. This one was longer. I ran/walked for most of an hour and determined that downhill is still easier than uphill.

Having done this for a week, I know that I can continue with the program, that I will not need to drop back to solely walking. So, here is my first goal: to be able to run comfortably for 30 minutes. I am nowhere near that yet; running 1 minute then walking 1 minute is still tough but give me a few weeks. I’ll get there.

Lesson for the day: If I am sweating, I am working hard. If I am sweating like a pig and water is pouring down my arms and off my hands faster than it flows out of my garden hose then I am running in St. Louis on a summer morning. Gotta love this weather!
