I ran today

Yep, I did.  And nobody was chasing me either. 

Okay, well, I did have someone behind me, but that was my running buddy. 

She said it was easier to run behind me than beside me. 

I think she was just a bit surprised at how fast I could go, considering I haven't run in ...oh... well let's just say it's been a while.

I ran Tuesday too.  That run was much easier.  I wasn't aching from every muscle in my lower body on that day.

Okay, so I didn't run ten miles, or even three. 

I didn't even run the whole way, not even most of the way.

I'm back to the "couch to 5k" plan, with a few refinements.  We ran a minute and walked two for ten reps both days.

Right now I feel like lead.

But it's got to be a good lead, right?  The good news is that my joints don't hurt.  It's just the lactic acid burn that I feel in the muscles that aren't used to waking up this early in the morning.

Right here and now I promise that I will get up early on Saturday morning and do it again.

No promises after that.
