short but sweet

the run was short so this post will be too. picked up new shoes, then hit the path with tc. it was fun. she had her new camera with her so we stopped along the way and took pictures. by the end of it we were both pretty beat. the only sad thing about it was the distance...maybe 1.25 miles in all. yeah we're out of shape again.

Don't call it a comeback

i ran, yay! for the first time in two months i actually ran. yes, Chicago 2007 turned me off from organized events...but not from running in its entirety. i've not been feeling it lately, but the time, aches, and the pounds started to add up.

i went 3 miles in 29:30, not bad for such along "rest". just under 10 minute pace. don't get me wrong, my lungs were burning at mile 1, and my legs ached by mile 2. but i managed to run the full distance anyway.

it was a beautiful night out. it was snowing large, fluffy flakes. the snow was coming down slowly, just barely masking the tracks of the occasional runner who passed that way before me. it really was a serene little run.

expect more to come.

it's hit or miss lately

I have not been very consistent with the running lately. been doin 15-30 minutes as a warm up before lifting (which has also been very hit or miss). also been in tampa all week. I did manage a run of 30 minutes on thursday morning. let me tell you, it's friggin humid in florida this time of year. i'll be in a car for 2 days so no running tell next week.
on a side note i've come close to injuring my ankle again. I tripped over a walker, fell off a ramp, and was almost thrown out of a jazzy 14 xl scooter. it's been some kind of week.
