Starting training

[talyen]

Today's assignment was to run for 30 minutes. Today was the first time I've run since, I'm not sure, September? Several weeks after the bicycle accident, and that was end of August.

I felt great. I started "slow," which I realized after the first mile was faster than I had planned. (I slowed down more.)

Had I not had the assignment from the "Pig" training class, I would have stopped after the second mile. Had I not had the assignment, I wouldn't have pushed through the last half of the third mile.

I am extremely pleased to have finished all thirty minutes, and happy that tomorrow's a rest day. I am sure I'll be sore.

The gym is the coolest place: tomorrow's a rest day, but I could try climbing, or lift uppper body weights, or just sit in the leisure pool or on the bubble couch ...

I am glad you are getting back into the swing of things. My ex-husband did the flying pig marathon several years back (after our divorce). I think it is quite an accomplishment for anyone. I don't think I would be able to do it. I think my knees would give out.

I do need to get into some sort of physical exercise regimen though.

It sounds like you are moving in a good direction. I hope to see you at ConFusion next weekend.
