It was inevitable. The weather finally popped up enough that I could run. There are a lot of people that run in the colder weather, and I hope to be one of them sometimes. However keeping warm is a problem for me so I am careful about running when it is colder than -10C. When I figure out the clothes thing, I will run more. Now I have the shoes, one less excuse. The elliptical used to be my cardio of choice but since I started running outdoors the elliptical pales in comparison.
My new shoes stayed in their box yesterday and will again today. My hubby pointed out that if I don’t like them I can’t take them back if I wear them outside. So tomorrow WE, thats me and my hubby, will go to the indoor track in the next town and give the new shoes a workout. It is exciting that he will finally run with me!
Anyway, back to the weather and my run. I trotted around the lake a couple of time and did not check my distance. Going around the lake is not near as far as I think it is so I shorted myself a couple of miles. I was intending to go 4 or 5 but only went 3. I made good time and was happy about my run anyway. Today I will attempt the other lake trail as well and push for a 6 mile run. My legs are a wee bit sore today but nothing serious. It is possible they will be more sore tomorrow. No pain, no gain!
