Running Outside


One of the best things I did last year was find a guy named Jake Lowe.  Running with Jake is his podcast and I have learned so much from it, even though I am not a real runner.  I call what I do lumbering, because I am so very slow.  At least so far I am consistent though! I do 3.5 miles outside, six days a week and 4 miles indoors once a week.  Been at it since last January, after missing almost 9 months of running because of a fall.  Prior to my fall (which was not an injury- just a really public embarrassing fall!) I was five miles a day, outside, for two years.  I can’t do five any more...I lost a lot of fitness and confidence in that time off, even though I treadmilled and ellipticaled...it just wasn’t the same...

Anyway..Running with Jake I can whole heartedly recommend for runners or lumberers or plodders of any speed.

Today I was able to run in the park and my phone battery was such that I had to turn off the podcast to which I was listening.  And you know...it was lovely and peaceful and maybe I will try it again.

I guess I don’t often like to be alone with my thoughts, but today was okay.!
