This was a confidence building run for me, and I enjoyed it a lot. I ran alone, no dog dragging me and no little boy trying to break a world record. This was my longest run since my ankle sprain, and it held up just great! I didn't bring the garmin, so I didn't know how fast (or how SLOW, I should say) I was going. I just ran by feel. It was nice, the only thing that felt a little different than a couple of months ago is that my legs felt a little bit heavier...which is probably true. (Too many twinkies, well, not twinkies, but I have been eating a LOT because it is the only way to keep from getting sick.)
Ideally, I think I'd like to run about 4 miles a day. I'll only be able to do it if I run slow, though.
And just for fun, here are some pictures of my sons trying to make faces resembling their jack-o-lanterns:
Sam is a bit of a stinker (where does he get THAT from?).
Joey has Bambi eyes.
Adam is angelic. |
