For those of you not in Nebraska, the weather has been beautiful here. Those of you who are here know what I'm talking about. It's been so nice to get out and enjoy. I've taken the opportunity to exercise outside and it's been fabulous. Much better than the time I'd been putting on the treadmill.
On Sunday the temp was near 70, so the hubby and I took our beautiful boy out in his stroller for a 2 mile walk. The sun was wonderful and my legs enjoyed being worked again. I'm pretty sad that a two mile walk felt like work, but now I know where I'm starting from.
Today my drive home made me really want to go for a run... darn all those runners I passed, out there enjoying Lincoln's trails! I was pressed for time but figured I could get out for a 'quick' mile with the time I had. When I left the house I could tell I was pushing it and sure enough, my pace caught up to me. But I ran the mile and probably had a goofy smile on my face the whole time. I did learn that the shirt I chose wasn't quite long enough to cover the forming belly. It did when I left home, but by the time I was done I had an awesome 1-2 inches of belly showing... nothing says cool like that!
I can tell it's been a long time since I've worked out and even longer since I ran. But it feels great to get back into it. And really, I just need to be able to walk 13.1 miles.
Tomorrow I plan on dropping my car off at the shop and walking/running home from work. It's about 5 miles and almost all of it is along trails. I'm really looking forward to it! Excited to try to run some. But, then part of my 'training' is getting used to the idea of walking for such a long time. Either way, I'll be on the trails enjoying what is supposed to be another day near 70 degrees.
