Run time!

Well, even with some serious lack of sleep last night, I got out to the track for a run.  I dropped the older two boys off at school, and headed out with the little one.  Got down to the rec centre, strapped him into the stroller, and hit the track.  Considering I haven't consistently worked out in a good 5 months, I did better than I would have thought.  I was able to do around 22 minutes of running, in 4 and 5 minute spurts.  At the end of it, I also did 40 walking lunges.

Right now though, I am exhausted, and sore.  Rather wish I wasn't in a 4 level split, too many crazy stairs! It's not helping that I went skiing for the first time in 20 years on Saturday, so still have sore muscles from that endeavor.  Tomorrow night I will jump on the elliptical while I watch a show, and will do that each night until Friday.  I will be unable to run on Wednesday, as I will be at Bug's school for his special day.  Next week I should hopefully get 3 days in at the track.

I should be set to run 5km in about 5 weeks.  That will give me a few months to work on time and form before a local race is held here.

  2. That's great. It is so hard to get back into the swing, but it feels pretty good to get back in it. :)
