tthoughts on running

some thoughts on running (heaving yourself down the sidewalk while gasping for air and promising yourself you will never do this again.... at least until tommorow)

1) If you know its gonna be a hot day (80-90+) and you are awake early in the morning... go running then.. right then.. not later.. not a lil after noon when its offically baking outside with no breeze. Cause that would be silly. And Painful. and boy did it suck

2) light weight socks are a must... big thick padded suckers while adding a nice layer of cushion will feel like your feet are on fire and transmitting that heat to the rest of your body while you drag your 500 pound shoes just another few steps

3) dont significantly up your running time on said hot day when you've been training on days in the 60's up to this point. you will regret this.. trust me

4) but if you do all these silly things, and still manage to finish your run without dying, you are allowed to feel proud of yourself while at the same time admitting it was mostly pure stubborness and stupidity that got you into said situation

so... started at 10 min walking, 2 min run then 2 min walk X 3, then 10 min walk
then upped it to 8 min walking, 3 min run, 2 min walk X2 then 4 min run, then 7ish min walk
then today upped it again to 7 min walk, 4 min run then 2 min walk X 3, then 7 min walk.
ill do the new workout a few times till it feels comfortable.. cause today wasnt
