Running Again!!!

2 miles treadmill; Spin class

Yesterday was an affirmation. Yes, I do love to run.

I arrived at the gym with my NEW road bike shoes AND cleats so I could look extremely hardcore for my first spin class. After changing and heading into the spin room, though, I noticed an absence of people. Considering the class was supposedly about to start in 5 minutes, I left the room to find a schedule.

Ah yes, I was an hour early.

I then starting eyeing the treadmills. I DID have my sneakers with me....and the spin class WAS only 45 minutes of my alloted 60 of cardio.

So.

Off went the pristine cleats, on went the running shoes, and off I went!

I tentatively started at 5.5 mph. That was fine, so I set it to my normal cruising speed of 6.0.

That was FANTASTIC. I'm RUNNING AGAIN. I never thought I would be so happy to be on the boring TREADMILL!!

I love the feeling of my body in motion in that way, I love that I don't get winded, I love that my muscles are so used to it. I just love it.

After twenty minutes, I decided that anymore might make spin class too hard on the first try, so I hopped off and did my exercises.

The weather today kills my plan of 35 minutes on the treadmill since school is closed. Tomorrow is an off day. But Sunday I want to do a solid 60 minutes.

But still, I'm off and running again!!
