What's this? A run? Well, a run-walk, to be precise. It's been five months almost to the day since I last ran. As per my doctor's orders, I alternated one minute of running with one minute of walking, for ten minutes.
Observations:
- Man, I'm out of shape!
- When I set my Garmin up to beep every minute, I found that my user profile weight was listed as 12 lbs. lighter than I am now (I've "bulked up" since my abs project).
- My heel felt okay, but I still noticed a little soreness. It'll be interesting to see how it feels the next couple of days.
Not sure if I'll attempt another run/walk before I see my doc on Friday. But it was good to get out there and run a few steps!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some running is better than none! Congrats and good luck at the doc appointment.
ReplyDeleteEvery little run helps. Glad you could get back after it for a few minutes. If my profile is 12 pounds off it's not a function of muscle, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with the doctor Friday.
Woo hoo!!
ReplyDeleteBased on my experiences, a little soreness is just because running is a foreign experience. Best wishes for the Dr. appt.
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAdrienne, I've noticed a little soreness come and go during my rehab as my heel has adjusted to the exercises, so hopefully that's all it is.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single run/walk step.
