I don't have any fancy pictures or anything, like my counterpart, so this wont be as exciting. After work I was exhausted, tired and not motivated at all. I watched the video ( Check out my comments on the last post) and felt like a pos. I have nothing stopping me from doing this than my own lack of motivation. Seeing that kid go through the pain and effort for the joy of running, well, it made me think. I had a 15 minute lap, then took my first step of many.
I have a lake near my house. One thing you have to understand about Canada is that we like our artificial lakes. So, its not a real lake, and its not a big lake, but there's a large pond near my house, which I've run before. But, its a short run, about 3 kms ( 1.89 miles) from my house to around the lake, to back. So I ran the lake twice, amounting to 3.78 miles or 6.08 kms. In 31.20 minutes. That's a 5.20 minute km. A good first go, I guess. :)
Tomorrow I think I'll bring my shorts and work out stuff to work, and do a run on one of the paths near my job. The one route is 6.2 kms ( 3.8 miles). But its not going to be repeating the same thing over again. Then I will need to find longer routes. Its sort of following the schedule, but once I actually research the routes, I should be able to follow it more completely. Friday is a rest day, then Saturday is the race day (5 kms, which I will be running at a slower pace, with my friend) I haven't decided about sunday yet.
I finished that all off with a nice rack of baby back ribs that I had been slow cooking all day in beer, rootbeer, bbq sauce and herbs from my herb garden. I was going to grill them, but my bbq was making weird noises, so I elected to just bake them for a bit. Yummy. Oh, and some veggies and a Big Rock Lime.
