I decided I should, as well, take advantage of the nice weather. I haven't run since early November. I have, however, done strength training, worked out to DVDs and otherwise been active.
You could've fooled my legs.
I started off okay but realized partway down Golf Course Road that my legs had almost completely forgotten how to run. I made it to a mile and a quarter and then just had to acquiesce to the idea that my body wasn't going to cooperate.
It was pretty humbling, I'm not going to lie. It doesn't mean I am going to give up-I'm not-but I am glad I didn't already sign up for a 10K or anything. I could possibly make it to the end of a 5K, but I would probably be crawling over the finish line.
Now, the blessing is that I started running sooner this year than I did last. This means I have more time to improve, which is fantastic. I have a secret dream to run a half-marathon and I'm thinking there's an outside chance I could do that this year.
We shall see.
In other news, I have now cleared several boxes and bags in my 40 days, 40 bags mission. I am going to be making quite a huge drop-off at Saver's sometime soon.
Today's bag got filled because I was looking for the blu-Ray remote control. That thing keeps walking off. Super annoying, especially in the era where machines cannot be operated sans remotes. We scoured the TV room last night looking for it. No joy.
The last time we lost it, it showed up on the floor of the toy room randomly. All of this harkens back to my childhood. There is a random scene on repeat, where my dad or mom or brother or I were constantly searching for the remote.
We joked about taping it to a 2 X 4 but never did. I have half a mind to actually do it....if I ever find the damn thing.
