Here We Go Again

01Jan14

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 . . . )
