5 miles run!

I ran an easy 5.25 mile run yesterday, which was actually quite an accomplishment even thought it wasn't that long.

I have been really bad at following through on weekend running. Hence the empty blocks on Saturdays and Sundays on the calendar. I have had big ambitions to make Sundays my long run days, but very little follow through.

So I got up earlyish yesterday and got ready...only to realize that my ipod was not charged...BUMMER. So I sat around for about 45 mins wasting time on the internet and watching bad TV while I waited to make sure my ipod would make it through my run, because I knew I would not make it through without some tunes.

And then I hit the road.

Man o man did the first 2 miles hurt. Every single step killed both my arches, which is a direct result of needing new shoes. Since I am on the heavier side of running 250 miles on one pair of shoes is to many! (Stopping by SportBasement to replace shoes tonight).

Anyhow it was a beautiful day for a run! I hit an old favorite route.

And it was a great time to enjoy the sunshine and recharge my body! Hooray for an enjoyable Fun Day Sunday run!

And I finished 5.25 miles in 47 mins so I was pretty happy considering the pain my arches were in for the begining! And since I have not hit the actual road for over 4 in a long time it was GREAT!
