Day 22
OK, back on the fuckin’ horse.
Suggested Workout (from Grete’s book):
5 minutes walking
1 minute jogging/1 minute walking x 6
5 minutes walking
Total time: 27 minutes (I definitely took my time today, put in extra walking time where needed, and stopped to tie my shoe)
Total mileage: fuck, I lost my pedometer again.
Can I just tell you all how totally purposeless I’ve felt since I ran last? Seriously, total downer. The rest did my legs good, but I’ve gotta come up with a more well-rounded workout program so that I don’t feel like a slug during future downtime.
Breathing held up pretty well, legs were ok (a little creaky in my knees and right shin, and some burn from the running, but no *pain*). Short, low-impact workout in warm, humid weather, but it did the job.
In other related news, I’m now a member in good standing of the Jersey Shore Running Club. They have runs a few times a week, and I’ll be embarrassing myself at some soon! While that probably sounds more self-deprecating than most of my readers would like to see, it’s true; all runners embarrass themselves sometimes, and beginners, more than most. All part of the show, people, pay no mind.
