On The Run

So I decided today that I’m going to start running more. It was a nice day today so I was more motivated that the normal, ‘I should start running again… Meh just kidding, it takes exercise’ But after a few minutes of searching around my mess of a room for my running shoes and my knee braces, I found myself at Fred Meyer looking for those fancy little iPod holders for your arm and some nice running earphones. To my surprise there was a coupon for iPod accessories so that helped me get pumped for running too.

About 15 minutes later I’m standing by the street waiting for ever to cross because cars were driving (Can you believe it? Who do they think they are? King’s of the road? sheesh =P) When I finally crossed the street and got to the jr high’s track i started to run. I was feeling pretty good about the running. For like 100 feet. Then my not playing sports for over a year kicked in. I made it about 2 laps before I was coughing from being so tired. After a ‘brief’ stretching break (and a lay down break) I got back to the track. I ended up running about 2 miles and walking 1.

My legs are sore and even now, like 3 hours later I still feel the side-ache. But I think I am going to stick to this plan of trying to run, maybe not EVERY day, but more frequently.

Other updates:

• Work closed one store so I work less now (good and bad thing I guess)

Peace!
