running – Simon Wheatley

I notice a small improvement every time I run

I notice a small improvement every time I get out and run. Not very impressed with myself, though, for leaving three days of no running. #

Quietly pleased with todays run: went without stopping until halfway around my circuit with something approaching a lack of indignity. #

Back from a run, didn’t push myself terribly hard but I did get out. Looking at the Nike+/iPod nano combo… mmmm gadgets, they’ll help. #

Back from Run III. Feeling better, more running, less stopping, but still wiped out at the end of twenty minutes. Feeling a bit wobbly now. #

Obviously, with this hazardous weather there’s no way I could go running today. It would have been dangerous and irresponsible. #

Back from todays run (or “Run II – It Still Hurts” as I’m calling it). The whole thing is a carefully constructed assault on my self-esteem. #

Just got back from my first run in, I’ll say, 8 years; only 20 minutes and I’m poleaxed. So. Very. Terribly. Un. Fit. Not good. #
