All I can say right now is...owwww. Mary and I made the five miles in an hour and nine minutes, a bit faster than our planned pace. We'll have to really slow ourselves a little as the distance builds or we'll wear ourselves out too quickly.
One of the reasons I decided to run is that I know it will force me to quit smoking again, which I haven't been able to muster the willpower to do. Today's run definitely convinced me it's time to quit. Several of my FB friends have quit recently, so I thank them for their inspiration.
I am proud of myself for getting out there today...my back has been bothering me for a couple of days, but they say it is better to keep moving than it is to lie down. My back is still bothering me, but it didn't hurt while we were running. And my glutes are now sore, distracting me from my back, lol! I am reminded of my Dad's cure for all complaints not requiring stitches..."Here, let me step on your foot, you'll forget all about it." Miss you, Dad.
Today, by the way, marks the 30th anniversary of AIDS. Let's not give this disease 30 more years to wreck lives.
