Before After

lesson learned?

Happy Friday!
 
I'm sooo looking forward to this weekend!  I will be resting, running and relaxing (with a little housework thrown in there, too!).  Only 5 hours left in my workday until I am free!
 
I am considering a run this evening.  I was up this morning at the usual time for my morning run.  I tried to run, I really did.  But today my legs were not at all interested in moving.  I know the culprit: I have not gone to bed on time for the last couple of days.  I think I am learning that I HAVE to sleep in order to run well.  I am not in love with running yet.  Well, let me amend that statement.  In my mind, running is a great thing.  My body is working on becoming better at running, but I still find it uncomfortable and physically challenging.  I keep running, though, because it's good for me and slowly but surely I am making progress.  Except today.  My legs were burning almost instantly and I ended up walking half of the 3 miles I did.  Boo.  Lesson learned.  I will make a better effort to go to bed on time and not stay up to watch stupid TV.  That's what DVR is for...

I hope you have a great weekend!

It's awesome that you are running, and kudos to you for listening to your body.  Some days you just need to go a little easier and let your body recover.  3 miles is great exercise, whether walking or running!

Keep up the great work!
