Training started today. I'm wasting no time! I figured out that I haven't actually ran since June of last year. All my fitness pursuits have revolved around yoga, pilates and cycling, not running. So I wasn't sure how my body was going to react to stepping back on the treadmill.
Thankfully it was like riding a bike! I did a 20 min jog on the treadmill and only found myself glancing down at the time once or twice. Getting back into the groove of running might come more naturally then I anticipated. I truly thought that I was going to be pushing myself hard to stay going for 2o mins.
But, that was only my first session. I will not be fooled into thinking it's always going to be this easy. I know the first few days can seem optimistically easy, then day 3 and 4 comes along when the body has a little harder time keeping up. I'm not going to feel that I've settled back into running until I'm 2 weeks in and my body has a chance to react to what I'm doing to it!
With that being said, I'm pretty happy with myself so far! One down, many many more runs to go.....173 days till the marathon!
