Oof, I just ran for about a half-hour, with a few walking and water breaks in between long spurts. It wasn't as difficult as I had worried it would be, especially since I haven't run since our move.
After some agonizing over whether or not to do it, I got a pair of 7/8-length running tights today at City Sports; they were so comfortable that I'm glad I got them. I also got an REI long-sleeved zip-up running top this weekend, during a big sale. Wearing them was a boon. I was able to focus on my breath and the way I'm planting my feet, rather than feeling uncomfortably hot.
Today was my first day running outdoors; all the other times I've run have been indoors, on a gym treadmill. I didn't notice too much difference in difficulty level, but I was running on relatively even terrain, and a lot of it was grass, dirt, or semi-hard mud. There are some great spots to explore in my neighborhood, so I'm excited to go out again soon.
I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight. I always sleep well after a hard workout.
