Last night I went for my first run. It really wasn't much of a run since I'm walking a lot to work myself up to the running. I'm following a plan that slowly increases running time. This first run called for running 30 seconds then walk 4.5 minutes. It was difficult to stick with the plan and only run the 30 seconds.
I ran on the treadmill which I don't like - way too boring. The only thing that's good about it is that it keeps my speed consistant. I walked at 3.9 and ran at 5.0 for this first time. Today my hips are sore but other than that I feel fine.
I will need to buy a new pair of running shoes. I really like my current pair (Adidas Supernova Control) but they've seen their day. I'll take them and head over to Star Line in the next week or two and see what they come up with.
I tend to research a lot and try to find out as much information I can on a subject so I will be doing that with running. Best gadgets, best clothing, best turf, best training, etc. I know concrete is bad and I'm lucky to have a lot of walking gravel paths in my immediate area.
I think I'll go ahead and put it out there - I'll record my weight once a week - I must be completely insane to do this but, what the hell.
Current weight: 182.6 lbs
