Some thoughts after getting out for an outside run yesterday - the first time this year!

  • I always forget how good a full-body workout a run is.
  • Boy am I feeling it this morning. Still hit the gym per my usual routine but took it kind of easy, just loosening things up.
  • I need new running shoes. Didn’t realize how worn my current ones are.
  • I have a 14-year-old knee injury that still flares up about the end of mile 2. Will this be the year I break down and get it looked at?
  • All this serious running talk makes me sound like more of a jock than I really am. My best 5k time ever is only 26:something. That’s not very fast.
  • If I could get my knee fixed and not have it hurt, it might be fun to work on my 5k time.
  • It’s fun to run new places because they’re interesting, but running the same route in the same neighborhood is nice and familiar; you know all the landmarks and where the milemarkers and hills are.
  • It’s supposed to be 60F on Friday… time to do it again.
