Last night was my first real run in a long, long time so to be honest it was much more walking than it was running. My husband and I started out trying to run with our big dog but quickly gave up on that. He is super leash reactive and tends to go insane when he sees dogs, or people or anything he doesn't recognize as being on his "safe" list (and it's a very short list).
We quickly returned him to our house after he threw a total tantrum at the sight of another dog and continued on our way. We ended up run-walking (walk-running?) for about 3.39 miles. My tracker is stubbornly recording distances a la Americaine (ie not in Metric) and so its always a bit of unwelcome math when it comes to trying to convert miles to kilometers, something this Canadian potato is much more comfortable with.
This morning was interesting when it came to stiffness levels. Interesting because I was less stiff than I expected to be but not as loose and comfortable as I had hoped to be. As the day has progressed I have begun to stiffen up making work interesting to say the least. I am planning on going for a nice, easy walk tonight in hopes that it keeps my legs nice and limber so I can ACTUALLY walk comfortably tomorrow.
Because I don't work until later in the day tomorrow I am planning to get my yoga on in the morning for at least half an hour or so. I really love starting out my day that way when I can as I find that I feel much happier and more relaxed when I start with stretching and being able to focus my mind on positive things.
It just remains to be seen how flexible I am going to be in the morning after a night of not moving and stiffening up. Here's hoping I'll be able to move even a little.
