You know, I remember about 2 years ago, when I started blogging about my running, having a post with the title "and its a good pain" or some such. I am feeling that way again now. I woke up this morning a little sore, as expected. DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) is kinda sucky, but at least tells me that I am starting to do good things to my body. My legs are feeling a bit of muscle pain, but as this was expected, and quite mild, I ran anyway.
So, after winning my daily challenge with my alarm clock, I got up, dressed and out to run. Hit the dreadmill again, and am not trying to exceed any records or anything. Just trying to build my base back up. I ran 1.7 miles, with a quarter mile warm up and cool down. Did all this in about 31 minutes. My heart rate is where it should be for me, in the 150-170 range. All in all, a good workout. I weighed myself after, and saw 204 on the scale. Yecchh. Guess you gotta start somewhere. I am quite happily motivated again though.
Now...I just need to stay awake the rest of the day.
