I did my long run yesterday. The best part was that I got to run outside. I love being outside in the sun. It was cold and I almost wimped out. I was running right into the wind. Burrrr!!!! I turned around and headed for the clubhouse. When I did, I didn't feel the wind and I could feel the sun on me. Happy, happy, joy, joy!! So I kept on going in 29 degree weather.
It wasn't really a long run, only 3 miles. I have to start small. Next week will be the kicker when I have to do 4 miles. The only time I've done 4 miles is when I did my 10K. This is when I start breaking out of my shell and trying something new. I honestly think that the first 30 minutes of running is the absolute worst. I'll let you know if I still feel that way in a month.
I'm officially taking 3 days off from exercising. I did yoga 2 days and ran every day this week. My body has been sore getting used to all this physical activity. I read that you can become irritable, tired, and moody from over training. Well, I'm definitely that, with about 10 other emotions. I don't know if it's over training or me dealing with life. I think it's the second, but still a good excuse to take a rest. I'm going on vacation.
