So over this past month or so that word "Chicken" has been floating around in my head along with the fact that my sister said that she thought she was running up to about 2 miles at a time...
WHAT???
2 Miles~how long has she been doing this? I was either much wiser by taking it slower (because I know she hadn't been doing it as long yet as I had done it last winter) or I was being a pansy! :)
Anyway, so I kept throwing around the idea of starting to run again, but hadn't really done anything about it until 2 1/2 weeks ago...
I had been walking again for a few weeks by this point so I figured that I could start doing a little running when I was out on my walks.
So I started out on my regular walk & picked a very short distance to run between as I passed it going from & back to my house...I ran that short distance both ways and...Wait a second...that was easy, much easier than last winter...maybe I'm not as out of shape as I was imagining that I am...interesting!
A day or two later I tried it again, but with a little bit longer distance & the same thing occurred...hmmmm...& then the same thing happened again when I broke out my Pilates video, which is always a bit of a killer the first time or two-this time though...no problem...
So getting back into this running thing & thinking that I was going to be waaay out of shape for it has not been so bad & then I realized...
CRAP: TIME CHANGE!
Meaning-if I'm going to keep this up, the only free time I will have very, very soon will be after it is already getting dark or is dark...
"Chicken, chicken, chicken..."
I decided that I better just bite the bullet & try running outside again & that day came last Monday night...TO BE CONTINUED... ;)
