RFR: W1 D3 and W2 D1

Last Friday, I did my run as scheduled at 5:30am. Yay me! This morning however, I overslept and didn't run in the morning. Instead, I ran this evening. I MUCH prefer morning runs! Even though I have to drag myself out of bed and go from asleep to a run in about 10 minutes, it beats almost getting smoked by someone running a stop sign while talking on their cell phone. There are much fewer people about in the morning too, so it just seems more peaceful.

RFR: Week 1 Day 2

As scheduled, I did my run yesterday morning. It didn't seem any better or worse, I guess that's because we're still on the "Couch Potato" end of the spectrum. :)

Run F3rret, Run: Week 1 Day 1

Yesterday at 5:30am, I got up to go running for the first time. As it turns out, the most difficult part is making it out the front door. Once I made it out there, it was completely quiet and peaceful, the air was crisp, and the sun was rising. Pretty nice, actually. :)

Once I got running, it wasn't so bad. The Couch Potato To 5K program eases you into it, and gets your muscles and joints used to working out. I was a bit sore yesterday and today, but nothing too bad. I definitely feel like I can run again tomorrow morning.

I also weighed myself before my run, I was 197 lbs. I'm normally about 200 lbs, but I wasn't feeling well on Sunday night. Combine a lack of appetite with other symptoms, and I was a bit below my normal weight. My main reason for running is better cardio health, but weight loss would be a nice side effect, too.
