Slooooooooooowwwww Motion now…
Tonight, I decided to try out running. Since I did get the shoes with the intention of starting to run this weekend (I gotta get ready for the Malibu Tri, right?), I should do it NOW, right? So, I put on my running shoes and headed over to Westlake. Once around the lake should be okay. Or so I thought… What started out being a 4 mile run turned out to be a 1.5 mile run/walk. Man, I’m SOOOOO SLOOOOOOW. And this running thing is draining! I’m used to going at least 15 around the lake on my bike. Now, with my legs hitting the concrete, I’m a turtle! I don’t know how those marathon runners do it. I ran for 5 minutes and I was tired. So then I started walking. Then running. Then walking. Sigh… It’s going to be a looooong way before I can run 1 mile on the pavement. Weird - I was able to do it on the treadmill, no problem. Pavement must be extra hard on the body. Plus, my left knee started to ache after about 1/2 mile. Man.. I don’t know if I will ever be able to actually run 4 miles… depressing. :-\ Enough venting for tonight.
