919 left to go!

Yippee! I ran. I ran on the new treadmill at my apartment complex. I planned on using the stationary bike for 40 minutes and then run a mile. Unfortunately, the stationary bike is broken. So, I just ran the mile. It's a good thing I joined the gym even though I haven't been in a while.

I can't say it was smooth sailing, and I can't say it was painful. It was just a mile after all. It was a time to love sweating, and a time to get back into the feel. My left knee hurt a bit, so I was working on my form. I would like to attend a Chi Running workshop, and they come around here every so often. I hope to attend one next year. We'll see.

When I get up to 3 miles comfortably, I'll attend the Silver Spring Pacers Tuesday fun runs. It's right near my gym, so I can leave my stuff there, and then pick it up when I'm ready to go. I have goals, I have charisma, I am me!

Getting inspired

It's been a while since I last ran, but I'm slowly getting inspired. A big way for me to get inspired is to see all of the runners after or before work just running down 17th near the White House. I feel like such a slacker because I'm not one of them. I may ask my boss if I can come in late so that I can work out at my apartment complex. What is interesting is early in the year I asked if I could come in early so that I could work out at my apartment complex. I just can't get it right . . . or is it I just couldn't get it right? I will be inspired! One day I will run even though it may be somewhat painful the first time after over a month. Oi! Ok, that's been said, now it's time to move on.
