This morning, I ran for an hour. I didn't get near the five-mile mark, but it was a respectable distance. It was probably the best run I've had in a couple of weeks.
Again, I'm not going to stress about covering five miles in an hour. I figure that as I lose weight, I will gain fitness and be able to run faster.
In other news, I had a dream the other night about doing chin-ups. Perhaps my body is telling me it's time to start working on my upper body again.
I suppose I really don't know how well I'm doing on a run until the second half of it. If I can keep up the energy on the return trip, I'm doing well. This time, I actually got back a few seconds early, so I ran several feet past the finish line until I hit the official 1-hour mark.
My strategy of not letting myself take it easy on my first run after a lay-off paid off.
I'm not sure what I'll be doing tomorrow. Either 48 minutes or an hour.
