So, I sprained my ankle on Saturday and didn't want to do too much on it today during my work out. In fact, I was going to skip the workout altogether, but y'all inspired me with the Fitday stuff. And my ankle was feeling pretty good, so I figured that I would run a couple of miles.
The farthest I have run in 10 years, btw, has been a 5k (3.2 miles).
So I'm running at my normal pace, and I hit 2 miles. And I feel good, so I keep running.
3 miles. Same pace. I'm more tired, but I still feel good, plus a bitchin' Metallica song is on. So I keep running.
4 miles. Same pace. I am pretty tired, but I know I have another mile left in me. Trouble is, I have to cut it off to make it to a party with my friends. So 4 miles it is.
I did not expect to build up my endurance this fast - but a lot of that was because my joints were achy. Without the extra weight, my joints feel great.
Oh, and my post-workout weigh-in told me I have reached a new low. 210.4 pounds. Four-tenths away from a full 40 lost.
