1:12:13 That's the time it took to compete a 6.27 mile run through semi-now covered streets this morning.
I'm pretty proud of accomplishing that task. I was looking for a five mile run. I felt pretty good in terms of breathing keeping the pace slow, looking towards time on my feet over speed. With the weather we have had these past few weeks, and more snow on the way I'm ahead of where I was hoping to be. Initial realistic goal was to make five miles on the road by mid February.
Still very concerned about my foot; dealing with the heel pain and morning stiffness from the plantar faciitis. I am realizing that in order to run more efficiently/effectively I will have to drop several pounds, as this is my real objective I am not phased by this, it is more the how that concerns me. In the past I needed only to be active to keep my weight under control. Active meant running.
I am not twenty something any longer and I find my little brain telling me that I deserve not to have to workout, rather you should be sitting around slugging beers and watch sports on TV. --- then I see what my father is doing. Sitting around watching TV and getting older every day. I won't do that. No I won't do that.
I'll continue to shuffle on down the road.
