FINALLY!

After about two months of nothing from the ankle injury...

I finally went for a run yesterday. It's been MONTHS since the last time, and although my ass and thighs loved the break, those two specific parts of my body are the only ones reaping the benefits. If they even are "benefits". The benefit is the break, not the fact that their growing like no other. It still amazes me how my body just completely does a 180 degree turn when I hit a certain age.

So I ran around the neighborhood. I started out slow, just trying to get back into it, within minutes I found my stride! It was amazing. Jammin' out to my iPod, being weary of the slick sidewalks from the rain, hoping it doesn't rain on me, thinking of things going on in my life, I was back at it! Until about 10 minutes of continuous running...

MY LUNGS WERE ON FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!

It's always the hardest getting back in shape. UGH! Such a damn struggle! But I'm willing to work on it. I ran for about 30 minutes (which was what I would have done in a 5K) and tried to keep it continuous as much as I could. I guess we'll just see how this progress goes, and hopefully with a CONTINUOUS regimen, I can get back into the shape I was in... if not better!

Stay tuned! :)
