Getting Back My Groove

[kybearfuzz]

At least in the workout arena.

Since my health issues in February, I've been fighting to get myself back into a workout routine. It's not easy to re-establish a habit like that, especially when my stamina isn't back to normal yet. The one, however, will help the other.

Yesterday, after work I changed and went to the local park to see how many laps I could do. It's a 0.4 mile running/walking trail around the park. Before all the issues started, I was up to a routine four miles, with the occasional six miles when the mood hit. The sun was out (mostly) and the temps were good, so my goal was to do a 5K, or 3.2 miles.

I struggled a bit, but managed to finish. As I was walking around to cool off, I got my iPhone out to take a grainy post-run photo or two. They're behind the cut.








As the warm weather keeps up, I'm hoping to rebuild my stamina to get ready for a 5K in July.

Happy Thursday!

I'm trying to get back to a routine as well and I feel your frustrations. Good for you for pushing for that 5K. I'm still working on getting back up there. My problem is I get bored, even listen to music or "sightseeing" so I don't push to do the full 5K. I probably need to run with someone.

My mind tends to wander when I run and I imagine all sorts of stuff. I've been a rock star on many occasions when I'm listening to music. I've been a superhero with a great music track to add dramatic effect. And strangely, I've solved a lot of work problems by thinking them out when running.

As long as I have music, I rarely get bored. :)
