I ran. I’m a runner now.
Yesterday I had a major personal best on the treadmill: 2.54 miles in 30 minutes! I had never managed to keep a jogging pace for more than 10 minutes at a time before. No sign of that “runner’s high” I keep hearing about, though. I just felt like my calves and lungs were conspiring to kill me. Now that I’ve done it, I guess I have to do it every day until it’s easy. Starting, uh, tomorrow. Or Tuesday.
Tomorrow I have a session with a personal trainer. New members at the gym get a free one. I’m curious to see how that goes… stay tuned!
One response so far
Congrats on the new record. Your calves will get used to it, and your lungs. But for me I didn’t a runner’s high until maybe the first time I ran about 6 miles. And they are still woefully infrequent.
