I went for a run in my FREE (!!!) new Craft base layer yesterday. It was 40 degrees out and I was positively hot. Working at a running store sure has its perks, and I’m not as afraid of winter running as I was a couple of months ago. Did I mention that the shirt is purple?
I love running into people I know on runs. (That was a slightly strange sentence grammatically, but I’m going to keep it.) On the way to a friend’s, I met a guy I went to school with, who seemed shocked out of his mind to see me. I guess I haven’t really told everyone I’m back yet. And the other day, I ran into a coworker who was just starting her twelve-miler.
I still have some slight heel pain, probably from running in my year-old Asics. Hopefully my dog-doo-free Veronas will fix that problem within the week. It’s kind of sad that I was SO lazy that I risked injury instead of cleaning the shoes. On the other hand, the dog doo was REALLY gross!
I will definitely have to be careful during the next couple of weeks. I’m ridiculously happy to be out again, and I tend to get overexcited and do too much when that happens. We’ll keep it at fours and fives for now, and then…the real training will begin!
