“There it is, my first run!” Another beautiful day for a walk/run. Objective is to push myself a little more, and add some distance. I learn how far I am walking by using signs on the course. I vow to track performance in the future. For the first time since I started this project, I run, if only for a few seconds. Nobody knows everything about running, so sometimes you just have a try something and see how it works out. This is how I learn and progress. As always, I want to avoid injury so I can continue running indefinitely. Our bodies are efficient and get used to our routine pace and distance, so to prepare for higher performance we must vary that routine so our systems can adjust. I am still trying to figure out what my goals are, and just trying to continue improvement. I am hoping that running will help me be healthier, and part of that is losing weight, so I’m going to track that. I experienced some back pain, and also vow to drink more water.
