i'm a runner. that feels good to say. when i started this training, sure i had run before but i wasn't a runner. now i am. i look forward to my training. i want to stay away from workouts that do not help me improve my running. i can't do the core workouts like i did on tuesday. i was sore and close to injury the next day. on today's run, i felt some pain i am certain was the result of some of the crazy exercises we did on tuesday. plus, i am not trying to get ripped. i just wanna run. :)
starting today i will continue my gym workouts with the bike, abs, stretches, etc but will not log them. i have passed my weight loss goal of 184 lbs. yes! i'm a runner. :)
today's run was great. i got up at 5:10 am and left out at 5:35 with only a couple of glasses of water for a quick breakfast. i had a late dinner and went to bed soon after. the goal today was 4 miles so i had enough fuel for this one. it was 75 degrees and the streets were deserted. i could run in the street on the asphalt instead of the sidewalks; i can tell the difference. no shirt; the sweat kept me cool. the run went great except for a dull pain in my right leg. this made me slow down to pay attention to each step to not cause further injury for about a quarter mile. i won't run again until sunday. i have eight miles to do then. :)
