No, not those kinds of runs. The good kind. I am not a trendy person, but it seems like more and more people I know in real life or virtually are running these days. Danielle is a girl whose blog I’ve been reading for a while, as she has been training for a marathon, our teaching pastor Wes is running his first marathon soon, today was the NY marathon. I’m feeling a little inspired to start running.
In middle & high school, I was actually really athletic. I outran all of the guys in my middle school (there was one other girl who was faster than me), and I played basketball, ran track, played tennis. Now almost 10 years out of high school, my muscles have given in to the real world, and it’s my own fault for not making effort in keeping them up.
I’m still not quite ready to hit the gym hard. My incisions are still sore (the muscle & tissue that was cut through) and my surgeon said that would be the case for a month or so. I figure I’ll take another down week and maybe start jogging a little bit next week. I think I’ll train to do something small first, like a 5 or 10K fun run for charity. But any tips any of you have for getting my formerly athletic butt off the couch and back into my sweet pink and grey New Balances would be appreciated!
