I ran 2 mi w/ Lybi AND Paige in the late evening, and it was so fun! We gave up on using the sidewalk (it's harder, anyway), and ran on the asphalt in a row down the roads in my neighborhood. Paige really pushed herself and ran longer than I could. She said it was easier to ignore feeling tired w/ someone to talk to. I am trying to walk, as Sasha suggested, when I feel I need to, to avoid exercising anaerobically. It's been a really good thing -- I don't feel as worn out and sore and thus reluctant to run again. I experienced a strange phenomenon - after running and taking a walk twice, I actually was able to run much further the third stretch. I was surprised when that happenned, because I've come to expect feeling more tired as I go along, (except while walking, of course). It was exciting to see my friends getting along so swimmingly the first time they met! :D Paige said she's going w/ us next week, too - yay! I felt great the next day. |
