Today, I went running. Outside. For the first time in... MONTHS.
You can't really see my sweaty, red face very well. Nonetheless... GO ME. And and and, it was a faster time! Whoaaaaaa. Granted, this could just be a first day back and roll with it deal, but hey, I'll take it!
I still have to shave a full minute off my consistent mile time, but for the first time since I started running about this time last year, I believe I can do it. With the fantastic cross-training of swimming, my breathing is going to be better and my muscles stronger. I was terrible at cross-training when training for the marathon last year (made it to mile 17 and had to stop due to sickness), so this year, that will be a key component. Plus, of course, core and strength training.
Sometime later, we'll discuss food. Ha!
But for now, woot woot! Bring it!
Now we'll see how a long run really goes... Check in Friday on that one!
