Well, I did the first day of the training regimen for my 5k in a couple of months. I am a touch sore, now that I've sat down for a bit. But I'm excited to say that I'm not in nearly as bad of shape as I anticipated! I didn't struggle at all during the workout. And I was tempted to push it a little longer, farther, and harder. But I read the warnings against it and am going to be patient and stick with the program. Just because today was easy doesn't mean there isn't a day coming that's going to kick my hiney.
But I was really encouraged by how good it felt. Every time I start exercising, I wonder why I ever quit in the first place. I never have a good and justifiable reason. I enjoyed the run. But I will admit, it felt really strange when I started out. I don't remember the last time I went on a walk, especially around our neighborhood, without my son. So it was very bizarre to set out sans stroller and toddler. I actually felt like I was missing or forgot something!
But it was also very pleasant and rejuvenating to embrace some time in the great outdoors by myself. I don't think my son or husband were complaining, though. They were enjoying time in the front yard, swinging golf clubs, throwing footballs and softballs, and doing who knows whatever fathers and sons do. I love that they enjoy their time together so much.
