Well, even though I planned on waiting a bit longer, I ended up going out for a run tonight. It has finally cooled off quite a bit here, and the weather was just beautiful. I just ran around our subdivision twice. I have already noticed a difference in how easy it is to run, after having dropped about 10 pounds so far. This run felt very good to my legs, but was a little bit harder on my lungs (I have been dealing with a cough ever since we got back from our ward pioneer handcart trek re-enactment that we had the privilege of taking part in). Average pace was 7:30/mile. I will bill this as a progressive run, as each mile was faster than the previous one. Still felt good, though. |
