Today was the first day of my half marathon training. I got out the Garmin and realized I hadn't gotten in a GOOD run since spring- yikes! I had run a bit in June & July and even ran a 5k each month, but didn't track at all and no consistency. I moved the end of July and hardly ran at all that month. For the first 1.65 miles today my body was in shock "what are you doing? " then on the second mile my running legs started to come back. I looked down and caught myself at 8:40 occasionally- but with a stretch break my average ended up 10:00. I'll take it. Felt good to be running again! |
