Another 4.3 today...a little easier

Despite the heat (low 80's) I ran around 11am today, 4.3 miles.  It was hard, but I didn't need to walk any of it.  I still don't know how I'm going to carry water with my longer runs.  I found last time that the fanny pack either bounces too much, or I have to tighten it down too much and I get abdominal pains.  Not good!  A backpack, I think, is a bit overkill and will be lousy as the temperature rises.

Tomorrow looks like I might not be able to fit an outside run, so it may be treadmill time.  Have to look for a good action flick!

Getting back into it...again

So I started getting  back into it this week.  Two days of not quite 3 miles, with walking, then a break day.  Then a day with 3 miles, then 3.5 then 4.3 (a bit too much, and some walking after that).  That was yesterday.  Today is a break.  I'll see how I feel tomorrow.  I've found it hard this time to get back into it--it has felt unnatural for some reason and more of a challenge.  Hopefully this is just because I let it go too much, and not because I'm getting old.  :)
