They say it takes 21 days to change your habits, that is, to start a new habit or rid your self of an old one. That is probably the only reason I went out and ran today, since I was (sadly) still feeling pretty sore. I must be in worse shape than I thought I was. I biked to work a lot this summer (4.5 miles round trip), but biking uses different muscles so I guess it didn't help. Anyway, my "run" today was passable. I took shorter walking breaks, but they were more frequent due to the pain in my quads. I couldn't ever run long enough to get tired, but I think overall I ran more than I walked, so that's good. I also had to take a lot of just plain stopping breaks because I took the dog today and he has to sniff everything. I'm sure that some of you have heard Paul talk about how our dog can't run. I'm starting to think it's just that he can't run with Paul. I can't run with Paul either, so that makes us a good pair. I'm starting to get excited about Moab now. We usually take a big group of people from Logan, but the people we used to go with have all moved away. It'll be nice to get down there again next year (we didn't go this year because Paul was running the Relay Del Sol in Phoenix around that time) and actually see some familiar faces. Less than 5 months to go!
