Not the greatest run ever, but there's some silver lining to it!
I decided to run outside instead of going to the gym because other than Saturday, this afternoon was the first sunshine we've had in a week! It was also 75 degrees, a good running temperature, so I couldn't turn down the opportunity. I figured I'd run now and then later tonight do lunges, kicks, squats and wall sits and some yoga before bed.
I think that I messed up the beginning of my run by jog!walking the length of the parking lot (where you're at a walking pace but you're picking your feet up more than you would walking). I wanted to get exactly two miles because I was kinda timing it and the two miles start at the road. The parking lot to get to the road is huge. I think my muscles "warmed up" to the point of that stride and thought that's how I was going to use them, so the first mile was absolute hell. My lungs felt great and I had a ton of endurance, but my stride just couldn't open up and my legs wanted to give out. However, the second mile was awesome. My muscles got out of their funk. I haven't had a stride like that in ages (My stride was so long I kicked my butt! I shocked myself and about toppled over!) and I sprinted the last long block, something I haven't had endurance for since December.
My time was almost exactly 20 minutes for two miles, which is where the good news comes in. When I time a mile it takes me 10 minutes...so I'm on par for a 30 minute 5k! Not that 30 minutes is anything to call home about, but this means that MY ENDURANCE IS COMING BACK! I can keep pace for a long time! YESSSSSSS.
Also, it took only two minutes for my breathing to return to normal.
I'm coming for you, physically fit. I'mma get chu.
