You might remember me saying that I was going to run every day. Well yeah... about that... it didn't happen. Yesterday morning I woke up with sore legs, knees, and feet. And yes, I did pull something in my back. I think a better idea is to run three times a week rather than every day. This will give me a chance to rest, and will be more realistic for me to keep up on a regular basis. Besides, I'm not trying to become a marathon runner, I just want to be in better shape.
Today, unfortunately, it was five below with a healthy bitter breeze coming from the north. Oh well. I've got some running to do! My goal was to match, if not beat, my achievement from Monday. Since I had an idea what I could do, it was less eventful, so I don't need to give you a lap-by-lap account.
During the eighth lap, the oh-so-familiar cramps and tweak in my back returned, but I was determined to do at least 9. So I set off again and, amazingly, after the ninth lap and the ninth sixty second recuperation I felt good again. So I kept going. By the time I felt like I did on Monday (like my heart was going to jump out of my chest and slap me in the face) I had managed an impressive 14 laps. Where the extra 5 came from I do not know, but I'm happy now.
Summary
Total laps: 14
Time per lap: 2 minutes (1 on, 1 off)
Total time: 28 minutes
