Last Night

I ran.

I'm not really a runner....but the thought of running always intrigued me.  Why?  I was never ABLE to run.  A quick jog to around the block would have me wheezing.

At the beginning of my journey I wanted to run and I did, for a bit.  It took me a long time to build up endurance.  I was pleased with what I was able to do and felt so good.  Me....running!!!!!  Whodathunkit!
I started doing more than the treadmill so the running took a back seat.  I would run every once in a while but when the knee acts up, I freak and STOP!  Though it's not funny it does tickle me that the pain in knee according to my doctor is " runner's knee" .  Honestly, ME with RUNNER'S KNEE.  That's a riot!  Does that mean I'm runner?  I will take it.  LOL

Lately I have been going the motions and working out.  Just lots going on with life.  Physically I am there but mentally elsewhere.  Remaining active but not putting in what I should therefore not getting out of it what I could!  Honestly, the only one I'm wronging is me.  So last I ran.

Back to basics.  I used an app when I wanted to start to run.  I did very well on it.  So I thought it would be great to use again.  Like I said back to basics.  I started the app, I hit play on my new ipod playlist, and I started warm up.  Then I started to walk, run, walk, run, walk, run, wa.....no...I need to RUN.  I ran.  Sorry lady on app....I need to GO!  I was at 6.0 speed, then 6.5...I needed more went to 6.6...6.7......7!  IT FELT SO GOOD!

Time is up.  Time to cool down.  Smile on my face.  Fog is lifting.  Head is clear.

Off to Kickboxing I went!
