You'll all be shocked an amazed to find out that I finally went out and bought a notebook to log my 2012 activities in because I needed it. Yes, that's right. I actually ran! and cycled!
The point is that I got out there and busted out 2.5 and 2.0 mile runs and my knee did not hurt one little bit. I also got out on my bike for a 12.0 mile ride.
It was slow and sluggish and a whole lot harder than it should have been. But that's not really the point. I mean, everybody's got to start somewhere, right? Besides, it was farther and faster than sitting on the couch eating cupcakes.
Now a dilemma. The local Sweetheart Run is this coming weekend. I'm even entertaining the idea of signing up to run the 5K with husband. Kind of on the fence though. I don't really need to pay money to slowly run a race just to celebrate that I'm able to run again. I could just as easily run a 5K (or possibly try to go farther) on my own. We shall see.
Go for it!
ReplyDeleteyou bought an actual notebook? That's so 22 seconds ago! Don't you have an app for that? :-)
ReplyDeleteI think you should!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're back out there and with no knee pain! I say go for the race because it will be fun :) you have plenty of time to run alone / run longer!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to do some pain-free running! That's fantastic news!
ReplyDeletei vote do the race anyway. it's good to run slow with lots of other people and get a shirt. lol! welcome back lady!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably save my moolah and go on an 'unofficial' sweethearts run with the hub! AWESOME that you can run!
ReplyDeleteI buy the books too...I don't use phones for that kind of stuff, I have to SEE IT!
ReplyDeleteAfter spending all that money on a notebook, how can you afford to race? HA
ReplyDeleteI think running a race is a great way to celebrate being able to run again, even if it's slow!!
ReplyDeleteHooray for being able to get back to it!
I think you should run with your sweetheart! :)
ReplyDeleteWoot and woot! Yay for running and cycling!
ReplyDeleteI love log books.... although like Wes I'm all app'd up on them now.. but when I find my old written ones I do quite like reading through them!
ReplyDeleteThat is all great! Celebrate with the race!
ReplyDeleteWell done, the training log book is a good "friend". I have 2 log books: one is the RWs one and the other the old bloc-notes that I keep on filling since 1986.
ReplyDeleteWelcome BACK!!! I like small races, even though when I run them slow. I like hanging out with runners and meeting some running friends :) In case you run, good luck!!
