i ran 21 minutes today!!! and my legs feel fine (aside from some knots in my thighs that i've had for a couple days). no broken bones!!!
wow. it felt good. really good.
i wanted to keep going. but i've made so much progress with the running. slowly building up my time, spacing the runs a couple days apart. i was afraid if i kept going, i'd ruin all of that progress and fracture something again.
oh! and it was exciting because i got up to 6.6 mph for 5 minutes! i've never run that fast, for that long before! i was dying by minute 5, but it was fun. i had to knock it back down to 6.1ish.
but... prior to today, i had kept it around 5.7 mph, give or take a decimal. and i was staying around 10-12 minutes... so yeah. that's a big jump!
i love running.

nice. i'm having a hard time getting motivated to start running again. i hate cold. but i hate treadmills more. so i've been doing yoga and some workout tapes. so 80s, i know. but at least i'm not wearing neon leotards and tights.
i hate running in the cold, too. treadmills are tolerable because i can keep track of my progress.
working out while i was in highschool was all from workout tapes. they're so cheesey! but some are good. taebo is good- except he isn't even between the right and the left, which drives me CRAZY. so i switch back and forth which side i start with so that overall, i'm even.
i think you'd look good in neon. ;)
I DO NOT look good in neon.
