don't you wish you were this flexible?
I've been running regularly the last few weeks, doing my standard alternating 5 minutes walking/5 minutes running. I'd be watching the clock on the treadmill, just waiting for the 5 minutes to end so I could walk again.
Today, everything felt good. It felt right. When each 5 minute segment was finished, I wanted to keep running- it felt effortless.
I've been increasing my mileage faster than I should, though, so I decided not to push my luck by running more than 5 minutes at a time.
It's so nice to finally reach the point where running feels good again. It hasn't felt this good in years. I need to make sure I don't get over-zealous and push too hard, too fast, but with my next half marathon just 6 weeks away it is tempting.
I also like how my workout clothes fit- the 20 pounds I've lost so far really shows. Female-cut technical shirts run a bit small, but now I can wear several race shirts that were too tight in the past. Yay!
