Journey To The New Me: I Ran

I Ran

It's been a few months but now I am back on the horse officially this morning and I ran. Got up at the butt crack of dawn and got on the treadmill. I ran about only 10 or so minutes of my 30 minute work out and fast walked the rest because apparently running with chest congestion/chest cold does not make breathing easy. So I figured I'd fast walk it out rather than pass out from lack of oxygen.

I went to the Running Room yesterday and got properly fitted for real running shoes (they did a fantastic job, quite happy with them and their service) oh and some proper running socks too. I got Asics Cumulus-10 shoe (man size cuz my feet are gigantic).

I also got myself a little Camelback for when I start actually running in the great outdoors, it's a waistpack style. Would be a good place to put a house key, etc in as well.

I tell you, lying in bed this morning I made many excuses as to why I should not get up and run. But, I did it - I got up, took my sweet time putting my running clothes on and eventually did it. I tell you this though - I am TIRED today wow, it could be left over tiredness from the weekend but yah. Stick a fork in me - I'm done.

Thanks to everyone for the song suggestions, keep them coming if you have any more.

Here's my walk/run today:
