That Felt Great! I woke up this morning, it was sunny and not cloudy / rainy for the first time in several days, and I could feel the Central Park Reservoir calling my name. The idea of running along with the beat to some music and not to the pre-set pace of the treadmill was unusually attractive to me. And boy am I glad I did it. Walked to the Reservoir, did 2 laps, and ran home.
second day was better My body ached and screamed to stay in bed, I almost gave in and changed back into pjs when my sis didn't respond to my txt message but alas the little light on my phone revealed her answer " lets go". So I changed back into my running clothes and off we went. I never understand why walking is harder then running. Is it because it is a slower motion of muscles?
I little bragging wasn't enough to keep up The heat of summer has made it hard to keep working out. Everyday things feel like a sweaty workout so to actually go running was difficult. The weather has been cooler and my sister wanted to go running so I was like sure. Boy was dying! The air was heavy and hard to breath but the breeze made it bearable. I would like to say that my sister definitely has more endurance than me.
I don't mind company but in the end running is a solo thing for me... It has been a rough couple of days. The heat and humidity has not been helping either. My house was a bunch full of energy and my brain wouldn't quit so I decided to go for a run. My sister was home so I asked her to come along. She brought the baby which I wasn't expecting which meant I would have to run on the dirt path below the reservoir track. Well it was new right...
My mood matched the weather and eventually I gave in Today was a weird day, my mood seemed to be mimicking the weather. One moment I was down, the next I was super happy and then I was annoyed. I was going to spare myself a run today because I have to be all dressed up tomorrow for my sister's graduation but i gave in. I was going stir crazy in the head with everything I was thinking so I grabbed my Ipod and left.
Emotional junk checked at the starting line It has been 4 days since I've been to the reservoir and 3 days since any kind of sweaty activity. All I have to say is that my stress level shot up, my patience went down and all that emotional junk built up. This morning I got up bright and early for my workout. It was warm with a cool breeze and the sun was spectacular. As I walked I started to notice my legs were soar.
Lots of sweat, running and sun in my face. My legs hurt, they are throbbing all over and you know what I am loving it. Today is the 4th day in a row that I have made it out to the central park track. Today was also the day that I broke a threshold and pushed myself to do better than the day before. It was weird just when I was ready to quit (i run/ walk) I started running and decided to go around the track again.
I am amazed with myself and my new addiction... wow I am addicted, not to drugs or other illicit substances but to the Jackie O. reservoir track. It is my pill that brings me up or calms me down, either way I feel so much better afterwards. The first time I went, it was with a friend and we just walked. I forget how long but it was a long walk. The next time I went I went alone and it was scary.
Sunshiney Day The rain finally stopped! Went for a walk during lunchtime and noticed that everyone in the city seems to be happier today. Didn't want to waste the sunshine by spending time in the gym so I went for a jog around the reservior after work. Nothing too exciting. Just a lap while listening to my out of date ipod.
Reservoir Run I beat the snow.
Running update. I HAVE NEGLECTED MY WORKOUT BLOG!!!
Skipper No, I am not referring to Barbie's friend, I refer to myself. Yesterday, I skipped pole dancing for happy hour. Lame! So sorry. Today, I wanted to skip brunch for the gym. This sounds totally legit to me, but to other people who are not as passionate about working out, this is the ultimate in lameness.
Faster, but not Stronger Yay for warm weather in October! Took advantage and went for a jog around the reservoir. Usually when I do this I get tired after the lap and I walk back to the gym, but yesterday I had all this extra energy and I definitely think I could have done another lap. However, it was getting dark and I am still of the mindset that you should not be in Central Park at night.
