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.

Today I pushed myself again, boy am I out of shape. But this time instead of being ashamed of it I'm going to embrace it. Accept it and make a change. Let go of my past abilities and focus on what I can do right now.

I did the 3 mile out and back, but this time I stopped and walked twice in the last mile and a half. So really only ran 2.8 miles (I had my garmin this time). I was proud of myself actually for 1) getting out and running and 2) for working hard. My splits were 8:48, 7:39, and 6:20 (8:03 pace) for the last 0.8.

I hope to run every day this week (except for Thursday, Thursdays I have therapy and go swing dancing with friends so I won't have time).

Easy 3. 4/6 days (or 4/5, since I knew I wouldn't have time to run on Thursday) isn't too bad. Definitely better than the past month. I hope I can keep up the trend next week.
