I woke up this morning with an extreme charlie horse in my right calf. I haven't had the pain in years. Why today? Why in my leg? What does this mean? I better not start the program today.
It's my day off. I never get a day off. Why today? Why am I off? I better start the program today.
I found my shoes, which are actually good shoes thanks to my smart and beautiful daughter, Laura. Why these shoes? Why do they have to go on my feet? Ok, I will stop doing that., :) I found my workout clothes. Put them on. The cute little pocket that I have always wanted to utilize is on the OUTside of the pants. Umm turn pants inside out. Hair-Do so not a problem. Pearls yes? Pearls no?
Out the door...yes I went outside. And I started the program today.
Brisk walk. check. Sixty second slow jog, Check. I cannot explain how long that first sixty second run was. Thought I was going to fall in the ditch. But I did it. and kept on. It was difficult for me. I realized I was going up hill, so I turned and started running against the wind. Never said I was smart. I worried about how far to go because heaven for bid that I walk/run too far. The seconds of running got a bit easier. The calf began hurting again, and the knees were in shock. The feet were ok. I actually ran, sort of.
Lesson for the day which is heretofro known as W1D1. (Week one Day one for all you non runners). I should have planned my route and maybe found someone to do this with me. And I do need some cute clothes...hint hint.
Confessions....if I hadn't "blogged" about it, I might have not gone out the door. And I did NOT do the warm down. And I did wear pearls.. (HEY! I gotta be me)
