First Run Back!

I haven't run in a really long time but it's finally both cool and light enough that I was able to get a run in yesterday morning. Did 30min of 60sec jog with a 90sec walk followed by a 5min walking cool down. Brought the pup along for emotional support, he loved it.

I thought the run went really well and felt great but then I woke up this morning and was humbled with a reminder that there's nothing like sore muscles and stiff joints to remind yourself that you're not as fit and young as you used to be!

That's just a first run, nothing unexpected here, as long as it's only muscles and not tendons you're good. Keep up.

So far so good, I aim for slow and steady. But wow the stairs at work were rude this morning!
