Running: Keep on Going

[bewize]

I went running tonight, as I'm wont to do of late, and got a horrendous cramp in the back of my right thigh. Since I had no intention of hobbling home and I was too far to turn around, I just kept going.

Ummm, owie, owie, owie.

Lots of stretching later, I feel better. But good lord, that smarted!

I've agreed to run a 5K on Thanksgiving, so I need to get in shape so that I won't humiliate myself for that. Plus, there's a potential 6 mile run in the beginning of Nov. Hmmm.

Anyway, the route I ran tonight ended up being about 2.5 miles. That's not terrible, especially since I did the whole run in less than 30 minutes. *pleased* I shall keep on keeping on and just keep trying to add distance and shave time as I go.

I know I'm down on the scale, too, but I don't know how much yet. I'm refusing to obsess about that until Monday.

Hey there, I was browsing on the "latest" comm and saw your post. I've recently started exercising quite a bit as well, so added you as a friend. I hope you don't mind, but I was quite interested in your 90 day plan.
