the Way of the Turtle

5.3 Mile Run Through Albany
Monday, November 16, 2009

I would have rather been out in the woods or on the bike path, but with my car in the shop my options are somewhat limited, so... the streets of Albany it was. Some days I can manage to enjoy myself despite the surroundings, but tonight was just a slog. Still, it was better than not running at all.

Tonight's run also reminded me of another reason why I hate letting myself get into such lousy shape... regaining something resembling my previous level of fitness is hard work and it hurts. Running a meager 5 miles at a fairly slow pace (on pavement, no less!) shouldn't be nearly as difficult as tonight was.
