Run Sucka!
well...got back from the Sunday run of this 5K program. 2 miles. I haven't ran more than 1.1 miles in over four years. I crapped out big time on the second mile, walking for a great deal of it, so I think that is not good.
Now mind you yesterday I spent all day on a school field trip, which included a 2 mile hike in Empire along with a lot of time on my feet. The last stage of the tour was a stop at the Sleeping Bear Dunes and on a whim I climbed up the dunes. It was not all the way to the tippity top but I made it up there and goddamn was that an effort!
Now on the program I'm working on here Saturday is a rest day, but I was out and on my feet all day. Then today I woke up with a thunderstorm (blessed rain!) and then I went to class, so I have been up for a long time, I took a nap and have been in and out of tiredness ever since.
But I sucked it up, said fuck it I have to do it, and set off on the run. Not a bad little loop either, but I need to work on my endurance. Bleh.
So this week all told I have ran for 4 miles, 52 minutes logged out there exercising.
According to the Runners World site I burned 402 calories on this past run. Of course before hand I ate a bunch of pizza. Bleh.
Quick request for all four of my readers: can you think of songs with Run in the title? I'm just thinking about putting some on the iPod and I can't think of too many, so if anyone can think of anything please post it here..
I'll start
Spiritualized - Run Run Run
Last Poets - Run Nigga
Moby - Run On
others?
