It is hot and bright in Texas at 7:00 in the morning. I finished my run (5.4 miles) in just under 1:20 and got showered and to my cube in time for my 9:00 meeting. I am not going to run back today since I have a long drive ahead (different tale) but I feel like I would be ok with it. I took it very slowly, not even sticking to my 5/2 intervals very firmly. I believe I will run 2-3 times a week until I can be at my desk an hour and a half.
I am posting this from my laptop. I didn’t get down around work over the weekend so I didn’t get a chance to drop it back by work. I will be driving tomorrow, but leaving the laptop there to make ready for my Tuesday run. I am going to try and get at lease one workout in so that I can try out the showers and get a better feel for the total time it will take me to get into work. This is either brilliant, or such a bad idea that it is beyond comprehension.
Ran this route this morning, 6.8 miles out and back in 1:40.
I was planning on going all the way to work to pick up my Shuffle and bring up a desktop computer to remote into, but bailed on the longer trip when I passed the 45 minute mark. I remembered this being about half way and was concerned about making my morning commute into my morning run but GoogleMaps has a route that is only 5.4 miles:
and I believe I can get that done. I love the idea of two runs a day, I just hope my body loves it also. I am taking it quite easy since it has been a long time since I ran seriously. I have joined the fitness center at work and will drive if it is raining and do some treadmill work instead.
This was the first time I had run with a backpack on. I have a little string pack that I got from Posted in Run, Saturday, Procrastination, Treadmill, Morning, Shuffle | 1 Comment »
