Training day 1

I have been putting this off for too long. I decided to go for a little run in order to get ready to run the Nike Human Race 10K. My goal for the day was to run to Puerto Madero, rest a bit, run a lap around the port, rest, and then run back. Well needless to say that was a little but much for the first day.

When I stepped outside it was drizzling. I was glad to have my rain jacket and running shorts. I ran to the port. The trip there was so nice. The streets had less people and I felt like I was moving at superhuman speed. A walk that would have taken 10 minutes in the crowd only took 4. I was tired by the time I got there so I took a rest. Then I ran a few blocks and across the bridge. The port was so peaceful there was almost no one there. Then right as I get to the center of the bridge I cross paths with two young women joggers. We smiled at each other. They must have been feeling the same way I did. They were all deck out in rain gear too. I wanted to jog all the way back home but I could not help but stop at the little burger place. I ate a salad and water (I was feeling healthy). I caught my second wind and jogged most of the way back. I would guess that I covered about 2.5 miles. I still have quite a ways to go.
