Today I didn't want to get out of bed but finally after an hour of smacking the snooze button, I got up at 6:45. Walked the dog and left the house at 7:00. Warmed up by doing a couple stretches and then ran east on Camelback to Pima for a total of 11 minutes. Then I walked for 6 minutes south on Pima, ran another 8 minutes down Heatherbrae and then stopped by Joe's house to pick up my bike and rode my bike the rest of the way home for a total of 8 minutes. I'm finding that the first five minutes of running SUCKS! There's this little hump you have to get over but then once you do, it's a pretty good, consistent feeling. Again, I still need to find out from someone if I should eat before or after my runs. I didn't eat today and I think I felt better than I did last Saturday when I had eggs & toast.
I actually made a couple sweat drops today too... that was weird. I never sweat. I need to drink more seriously because I know I should be sweating. I think I only did today because of the rain and humidity from last night. It was nice and cloudy out today so it wasn't that hot.
My body feels pretty good. My right calf was a bit sore but not too bad. And my stomach only hurt a bit (the usual sharp pain under the right lung) during the last few minutes of the run.
I gotta remember to take some tunes... maybe I'll get an iPhone so I can have music and a phone with me. It might not be that safe for me to be running around by myself in neighborhoods and when it gets darker in the mornings, it might be that much more important. Besides Joe was trying to call me when I was on my way to pick up my bike and he couldn't reach me and he had to go to the office. I made him late and mad. Phone might be a good thing.
I also started using mapmyrun.com today to help track routes, training notes, distances, calories burned etc. Here's a link to my new public profile: http://www.mapmyrun.com/user/869643586079/tonisays
