Today kicked ass

Yesterday I ran the loop around my neighborhood and it was terrible. I ended up walking most of it, felt like a lumbering cow, and had a total mental breakdown when I finally got in. Once Parrish talked me off the ledge, I was fine, but I was pretty sure that I was never going to run a full 5k EVER.

Today I changed my mind. =)

Sonja and I learned there was a park near work so we ran down to the park, around it, and did most of our usual loop around work - all in all it was about 3.5 miles and I dare say that we ran most of it. My legs are killing me, but in a good I actually accomplished something sort of way. Please forgive my rudimentary Paint skills - mapmyrun.com decided to screw up my account so this is the best map I could get.




Tomorrow - I think I'm going to take it "easy" and work on my treadmill/incline intervals before my dentist appointment. I"m not looking forward to that but at least I'll have some good painkillers to ease my aching legs.
