Yesterday I kicked off my official training for my 1/2 Ironman in August. I don't want to admit how difficult it was to get out of the house and go for a run but I did it.
I need to remind myself that I do much better scheduling my workouts at the beginning of my day or minimally scheduling them period.
I did get out for a run. I was scheduled to do a 30 min run but instead ran 50 min. It is funny because I still do not feel warmed up until after at least 30 minutes. At around 40 minutes I felt like I was finally getting up to my pace but I am guarding myself from injury and not going all out right at the beginning.
My left knee did hurt a couple times during the run around the patella tendon but it went away. I also had some side cramping at the beginning of the run too. But it all went away. Considering that I had spent the weekend climbing up and down ladders it was good that I could run at all.
So easy does it! I am off and running.
