I’ve been trying to get some exercise recently. I’ve been doing various things towards that end, but for this post, I want to talk about my recent jogging. I’ve been walking into work, but I didn’t walk on Thursday, because my legs were sore, and I didn’t walk on Friday because I had a pre work appointment that made the timing not work out. I did play some volleyball on Thursday night. Walked/jogged part of the way to and from the volleyball. On Friday night, I ran a bit over 4 miles in 41 minutes.
That’s the track that I took. I actually went for about 2 miles without slowing down. Then, as I started the hill up first street (not much of a hill.. only 30 or 40 foot of elevation change) I started wearing out. I started walking and jogging, walking and jogging.. But, even with all of that, I still managed to average a bit over 6 miles an hour. I was relatively happy.
On Saturday, I jogged to and from the volleyball courts without stopping.
It’s about 2.4 miles each way. Obviously, I can’t count that as 4.8 miles, because I took a 2 hour break in between the legs and played volleyball.
This afternoon, I ran to and from the library.
About 1.6 miles each way. So, 3.2 miles. 33 minutes. 5.8 miles per hour… If you throw away the 5 or so minutes i had to stand in line at the library, that’s in line with earlier times.
The ability to run/jog for extended distances is something of a new thing for me. Until recently I’ve always found myself getting tired after short distances. I’ve apparently crossed a line that is letting me get away with this. I like it.
