It was gorgeous in NW Vermont yesterday- the sun was shining and it was 65 degrees. I was held up at school in a terrible union meeting, and I cried all the way home. I had packed a bag and meant to go to the gym, but I knew it would be very busy, and I just didn't have the heart to drive there and back and fight a lot of people for the treadmill.
So, I pulled up the C25K podcast on my iPod, laced up my shoes, and ran outdoors. I think it was waaaaay less boring that at the gym, but also more challenging. There is no way to avoid hills when running outdoors on the back roads in Vermont.
Still, I survived, and felt really great afterwards. It relieved my stress, and I felt accomplished- though incredibly sweaty. I totally get why the Disney marathon starts at 5:50am (besides the fact that Disney wants it to finish before the parks open); we need to run it before the heat of the day! I was 4:30pm and about 63* when I ran yesterday, so I cannot imagine doing 13.1 miles in the Florida heat at noontime!
I had a little left knee pain running yesterday, and this morning it feels a little tight/odd behind my right knee, but neither is really bothering me. Tomorrow is my last day of Week 1.
