Another year, another resolution to run myself into shape. Today it was tough, about 23 F, with a stiff wind. Nevertheless, a failure to start on the first day would spell doom for the resolution, so here it is:
Distance: 3+ miles
Course: 48th & Division / Eastern & 44th loop
Conditions: Snowing & Windy
Dress: L/S Tee, Asics running jacket, training hoody
Time: None Measured
The overall run was good. I did the old high school stretches for the first time because I have been having hamstring trouble. I felt old and slow in the beginning, and although I did not feel very strong, the pace picked up after a mile and I was not cold at any time. Funny, the first runs work off the excess water; since I lost five pounds on the run, I must have sweat off a half gallon!
And FYI, I weighed 204 at the peak of the holiday pig-out . . . we'll just have to see how much weight burns off in January. (Or more like, flushes out, as the weight I carry is mostly bloat in my opinion . . . )
