Slow but Steady Progress
Last Sunday I ran 5 miles.
I count that as quite a success. It was around a 10 minute pace. I am so out of shape. But then, what else should I expect for being out of commission for six months. I'm not complaining. I'll take the running anyday.
Even a run through a snow squall.
Yep. Weather was pretty weird on Sunday. I left home, temperatures were not bad -- low 30's. It was overcast. I heard there was a storm coming so figured I should get out and do the run.
I ran down to the Charles River and down towards Harvard. Just as I'm crossing the river to head back, it starts to sprinkle. OK, not bad. I have no problems with this. But then, within about 60 seconds, sleet is stinging my face. For the next mile and a half, I run face into driving sleet and then snow.
But I'm not complaining.
Except that about the time I get home, it all stops. And by the time I finished my cool-down walk, the sun is shining.
Great timing.
I'll be in Brooklyn this weekend and plan to do six miles on Sunday -- Prospect Park.
Running (despite how out of shape I am) is feeling really, really good.

My hint would be to use this new product on the market called Alternative Energy from Function Drinks. It pumps you up for 6+ hours and it is a totally all natural product.
Give it a shot and you will thank me for the rest of your journey! =)
Keep up the good work!
glad the running is going well! Hopefully I will see you in Boston in April!
