I got the random inspiration today to go running. It was after work, as I was thinking about all that I needed to get done and after realizing that I have tomorrow off of work I was like, "what if I went running right now?" And all of a sudden, it felt like I was free because I could go running! And I wanted to! Granted it was dark outside but it gets dark so early now that I have a feeling a majority of my runs will be in the dark. But anyway, I was like okay let's go running!
I was expecting it to suck because it was my first time back after so long, but I felt so good so instead of the planned 2 miler I turned it into 3. (I memorized where the turnaround is). I expected to have to stop and walk for a minute once or twice but no, I ran without stopping! My lungs hurt for a little while starting up but I got used to it, and I was breathing heavy but moving what felt like a good pace so oh well. I didn't have my watch with me because it's dead after so long of not running. But I plugged it back in so I'll have it tomorrow!
I'm feeling excited to get back into running. It's one of those things that you don't realize you've missed until you start doing it again.
