\"Running<\/a>Total throwback picture.\u00a0 A pic of me from 2008 when I started running for the first time and it was winter in Ohio.<\/p>\n

This was my lame ass outfit that I wore, ill-fitting fleece from head to toe.<\/p>\n

Things have changed and now I wear proper running clothes.\u00a0 I do still have and wear that hat though! It’s the best running hat because it covers my ears without riding up.<\/p>\n

Currently it’s Day 8 and I’ve had 5 proper runs so far this year.\u00a0 Three rest days, two unintentional ones but shit happens so I’m not going to stress over that.<\/p>\n

My knees are a little achy during the run but that’s what happens when you’re carrying around extra weight.\u00a0 I’m slowly getting used to the elevation and my breathing is getting much better.<\/p>\n

Today I ran the farthest before needing to stop for a walk break so I’m counting that as great progress.\u00a0 I think I’ll be able to run a full mile soon without stopping.<\/p>\n

The plan is that I will not be increasing mileage until I can run the current distance without stopping to walk.\u00a0 Once I can run a mile without stopping, and do that consistently, then I’ll bump up to a mile and a half, and so on from there.<\/p>\n

For motivation, I reread a post I wrote back in 2009 about running<\/a>.\u00a0 I needed that.\u00a0 I will be a runner again, it’s just going to take me a little longer than expected.<\/p>\n

How are you doing with your 2014 fitness goals?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
