I disappeared for awhile which means I haven't been running. Sad... :( I started a job a while back that was pretty physically demanding and I didn't seem to have any energy left to run. But now I'm not working so much anymore, so back to it!
I went running again last night on those biking trails through the woods. It felt really good to run again, except I got eaten alive by mosquitoes. I haven't seen them that bad for a long time. They were terrible! They couldn't seem to catch me when I ran, but they got me good as I was warming up and then again at the end. But they itched the whole time I ran and they still do.
Anyways, I ran for about 15-20 minutes then walked back to safety in the truck - I couldn't stand them anymore!
Tonight, DH and I went for another run. Have to wait until it cools down in the evenings - it's been hot and humid out lately. We ran for about 10 minutes, took a short walk break and then ran about 10 minutes back. I threw in a couple of faster runs in there to try up the speed a bit. I could tell that my thighs and ankles were a bit sore from yesterday, but no big deal
I'm amazed at how good it feels to run again - and I realize how much I miss it. I'm impressed that I was able to run for 15-20 minutes already, since I haven't run for a couple of months. I really have to keep it up.
