We went running for the first time this year. I've been so waiting for this. Being the first recreation at all since autumn when we finished with hiking and after a whole winter of hibernation, a 1 km run must be enough. I don't want to like die tomorrow. The rest of the path we walked (it's something like 5 - 6 km).

I was almost high. Such energy, such spirit! And 1 whole kilometer without any problems after so much time of doing nothing! If I remember two years ago when my partner took me running with him for the first time... I ran possibly 200 m, in breaks of 50 m... and almost died there. It took me quite a few tries to reach 1 km, but I don't think I ever got further than 4 km... it's also true I usually exchange running for biking in summer, and last year hiking in autumn.
I hope for another run tomorrow, before the weather turns bad on weekend (they're saying it's going to snow again. SNOW?! We had like 16°C today!).
I'm contemplating another goal this year. Not only vegan (which I simply adore!) but maybe a mini marathon, too? 10 km suddenly doesn't sound so frighting anymore and I know I'd have a great support & company in this challenge.
I'll let you know.
oh, you've got definitely my support on that! in summer of 2009, I also decided to give it a try and I didn't run more than 4 km (no longer sure how much I actually ran, I remember I used also some kind of "run + walk" plan) ...but then, I once tripped, my phone luckily survived but didn't look very nice afterwards and the desinfection of my hand was "oooouuuuch"! ...I told myself I'd start again after it heals, but I didn't :(
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see that you can actually work yourself from 200 m to such long distances! 1 km after auch a long break? Wow!!!! :) Keep us updated :-))
I so wanted to go running today again, but the man's lazy ass didn't cooperate today. And I need him while running cause he has a nice slow tempo and slows me down, cause I always want to run like mad and then die after a few metres :)
ReplyDeleteSo no running today and possibly not for a while now. Sigh.
