After reporting my first run of the year last week, I was jazzed up. So jazzed up in fact that the next day i figured a longer run was in order. So out I went for 30 minutes. Unfortunately, that run was probably 25 minutes too long. The hip ached. The legs were tight from the run the day before. It was so disheartening. This is what I do. Give me an inch, I try to take a mile. I backed off of the running. So yesterday, I tried the treadmill again. 5 minutes. Today….I tried it again…..10 minutes. Felt great. Lesson learned……..I’ll ease into it…and work my way up to 30 minutes…….it will happen.
On another note, I am now working in the clouds. In this previous post, I wrote about some new technology that I was going to be working on during my downtime. Well its implemented. Woop Woop. I now have my own private virtual cloud to play in. Virtual Machines are the best thing since sliced bread! I will admit during part of the setup, I could have used a run or two to get me through it……lots to learn. Distractions like this have been very VERY helpful in getting me through this downtime.
