Run 3.1

You will notice that there is no "a" after the title....I did it....I survived two three minute runs...

I decided to hit the trail today and it is very peaceful. The first three minute run I didn't mind, but the second - I was watching the seconds count down on the app. I was much slower on the second three-minute run interval than I was the rest of the time. I did find the first 90 second run was great. I felt really good.

Last week, I chatted with a runner friend about my legs (left calf hurting and right shin hurting), so it appears that while I am running I tend to favour one leg. So today, I focused on putting equal pressure on each leg. Even while running, I am thinking like an occupational therapist. It definitely worked, my legs were felt pretty good.

I must say I am really enjoying running this time. On my run days, I look forward to work ending so I can go for my run. Maybe it is because I just want to stop working, cuz I do have those feelings on non run days. But I can see how running is addictive. It doesn't matter how far or fast I go. I have a full 30 minutes to myself to unwind from a stressful day at work and I get out some frustrations my hitting the pavement.

Whoop whoop!! Way to go!! Glad your legs felt better!

I'm the same way with running. It's a great stress reliever. That's why I try to do it everyday or do something because I feel 10x better when I move.

Way to go! That's great that you did it the first time! I tried to concentrate on my posture while running and noticed my shins didn't hurt as much when I started concentrating on hitting the pavement with heels first and evenly.

I enjoy going as well. I feel so much better after I run. I am rather surprised that the only soreness I have is while running, and that was minimal my last time.
