I went for my first run along the Town Lake Trail. It's a great trail - but I've got a long ways to go to make it around the entire 10 miles. I haven't run all summer (which means the last time I ran was the summer of last year). I left at 9:30 am -- it was cool, perfect weather.
Within 15 minutes, the combination of running and the sun coming out from behind the clouds make it super hot. We're talking not even 10 am and hot weather. After a little under 1.5 miles, I turned around. Better to run <3 miles today and be able to come back tomorrow (or some such).
Not that it was unexpected -- but often times we imagine ourselves a little more ready than we might be. That's OK though -- we deal with the rough waves of the ocean and make it through, hopefully growing in the process.
So my goals are now to get back to around a strong 3 miles a day in the next couple weeks and then start building up to 4 and 5 miles. Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!
