Our First Half!

soreeee
So sore from my first two runs...total of 5 miles in 2 days...wouldn't think I would be sore but here I am with that great feeling where you feel like all of your muscles are tightening up! Today is a rest day and I am HAPPY to take it, although I will probably get bored and will want to at least walk on the treadmill or something. I joined the DailyMile which is a great site where I can log my runs and people give each other encouragement...it's been great so far, I have 8 friends (yay!) I'm actually getting really excited for the race...I'm glad I still have more than 75 days to prepare though because if I am sore after 5 miles, imagine how I will feel after 13.1! well, that's the update for today! I'm glad I started two days ago so it's not really a New Year's Resolution, because, at least for most of us, the New Year's Resolution to work out really only holds strong for the month of January and then tapers. This is a life resolution and a step towards a realistic goal so hopefully I can keep on it...at least I have the bloggers to keep me in check, and my DailyMile friends and Arpita, who is now a contributor and will hopefully be adding to the blog soon! Happy end of 2010 and can't wait for 2011!!!

Oh gosh I'm feeling a mileage increase too. My legs were sore.. but I told my self "no they aren't!!!" and kept on going... ahahah! I may need to forget my ego and run just half of my usual tomorrow or walk or something..
ReplyDeleteHere's another thing you could do...the Run 1/Walk 1 strategy...I did this today for my 4 mile run. You can Run 1 mile and then Walk 1 minute. You have to start doing this from the beginning though because otherwise you may tire out. It worked fine for me and I think it is a good strategy if you are sore, tired, or just feel plain disgusting from a french dip panini (as I did today...YUCK)...let me know if you try it out!
