I'm a runner!

[brightbluegirl]

It is amazing how much I was looking forward to the run we just went on. I was looking forward to it for 2 days.

I know I'm really into it, because it rained all day, including while we were on the run. We braved rush hour, lacrosse teams, small soccer players, and a hell of a lot of water coming from the sky.

48 minutes. We were going for 54, but it got too dark.

Dude. This rocks.

You rock! I'm so jealous. I used to be a runner. And then I stopped. It's so damn hard to start again at the bottom. :|

Actually, although I've been using an ellipse almost daily, we only started running again on Sunday (we started running when we lived in Albuquerque)

What I find really useful is interval running - run for 4 minutes, walk for 2, and repeat, for example. I still don't run the whole way, but I FEEL like a runner. And since I'm always improving, soon enough I really WILL be a runner that can run the whole way!

We're training for a 10K run we're going to be a part of on April 18th, but I've wanted to get back into it anyway.

Good for you!!! I can't run, it's too hard on my messed up knees. :(

:( knees are so easy to get messed up. What sort of messed up are they?

Mine are messed up because I have fallen arches, and cuz I got so fat. But I have orthotics, and I've found I can still do most things (in that the only thing that seems to hurt is kneeling on the floor), especially now that I have lost weight, although sometimes my right knee hurts a little, but not so much that I need to stop anything I'm doing, although I always pay attention to the pain in case I DO need to stop.
