The Run

As I had stated in my reolution blog, exercise is one of them. So, yesteday I made my way to Pena Adobe. A local park that is is pretty cool. It has a lake, which you would not want to go swimming in, with a trail around it that is 2.5 miles long. There is also other trails that go up into the hills and on the outskirts of the park. You can ride you bike or horse, which ever you prefer. You can walk your dog or take it to the dog park they have there. There is a bunch of wild life from birds, to rodents, and from what I have been told, mt lions. You can even see an occasional deer. Pretty cool, right?

I decided to run the 2.5 mile trail around the lake. Considering that I have not ran in ages I was set at a slow pace, Granny pace. I ran the distance and went I got to the beginning I stopped, stretched, and ran the trail again. 5 miles. Wow.. I can tell you, I am sore in ways that I have NEVER been sore. Hip flexors, never been sore....until today..Wow.. i am happy to have run the 5 miles. It was a bit of a leap on my part, but 2.5 miles just wasn't long enough of a run.

I wanted to start training for some sort of race.. Not necessarily to race and be competitive, but just to do something different and be able to finish it. Right now I am thinking of a half trialthalon: .5 mile swim, 12 mile bike ride, and 3 mile run. I am no where near that point yet, but hopefully I CAN.. We shall see.. Might go run tonight to loosen up these muscles because boy are they tight.
