Chad's Runs

Well, I ran, barely. I was going to run 4 and take it easy. I didn't make it. I cut it short and walked for a bit every 5 minutes. I am so out of shape. Embarrassing. But, I got out. I'm going to try and get out again on Monday. Wish me luck.

Much better than Saturday, but dang I'm fat.

4 slow miles. Felt better physically like I don't have to worry about a running injury with 4 miles.  I have a long way to go.

4 more take-it-easy miles. No Garmin. I'm starting to feel a little stronger but I'm sure I'd get some injury or another if I jump in too fast.

6 miles on the JRP. Ran into RAD, Smooth, and Luz a few miles in. I knew they were starting at 7:30 but I did't have a lot of time and needed to start earlier.  So I started at my house and tried to time it so I'd catch them coming south as I was going north.  I didn't and figured they were running north instead, oh well.  Well they just got a late start and ended up catching up with me at willow park.  Wow that was a long boring explanation about nothing nobody even wants to hear.

So back to the run.  6 miles is the longest I've run since September and it felt great.  It was wonderful to run and be able to keep running for more than a half an hour and to run with friends even if I am only slightly faster than a turtle right now. 

5 early miles in the dark on the JRP. There was no moon. I should bring a light when it is this dark. At least there are no cars on the trail. Still slow and taking it easy but enjoyable none the less. Great weather too. Nice and chilly but not too cold.

Pretty warm this morning, it was nice. Still slow but feeling stronger. I forgot to turn around at 2.5 miles so I continued and turned around at 3 and ran 6 instead of 5. Maybe I'll run with my Garmin next week to see where I'm at.

4 miles on the parkway.  First time in a while for back to back runs.  Slow as expected.

7 miles with Richard.  Still building speed and distance and still scared to take a garmin.
