qarylla(and cool links)
I started running again this week. I haven't really done anything real for running in a few years, since around the time of my knee surgery and recovery. I would do a mile or two on the treadmill every four to six months and that would be about it. Running was just an activity that wasn't easy to do or schedule or manage (for weekend walks the culprit is usually the huge backpack).
I normally do the Corporate Challenge, because it is local and free through work and pretty low key. Last year I was sick and the year before that I walked the entire thing in a pretty abyssmally slow time. There (if my memory serves) was also a bit of a clothing snafu at least once. Uncomfortable clothing makes for poor performance.
I treadmilled on Tuesday. Part of my joyous day off recovering from Rhode Island airport-related travel. This morning a look at the weather had me in shorts and a T jogging (and walking) outside. I had no idea how many miles, but I at least knew the roads. I tried four or five different google map directions to attempt to get my route mapped for mileage. Then I found this. Map everything! My normal route to MIT from work is 2.79mi! To Enochs: 1.79 (don't know what is up with the 79s!), and the walk-jog this morning: 1.94.
Not bad for a morning's work.
