| Sioux Falls, SD It was raining a light misty drizzle today over my lunch hour when I went for a run along the edge of the golf course on a bike path in Sioux Falls, South Dakota today. I don't feel all that great really. I think it's allergies but while I knew running wouldn't make it better it wouldn't make it worse either, and I'd feel worse for not sticking to my running program so I rain... sick... in the rain lol. Leave me alone. I ran OK? It was Day 2 Week 5 of the C25k program so it had two 8 minute runs. Imagine my joy. Surprisingly it went well. I didn't cough, and only sometimes had to breath through my mouth because of the rain and condensation making it feel like my nose was running when I don't think it was. It's a nice running trail though and I hate we don't have one like it at home. That's not true. We do, and I run it... but this one is new and I'm used to the one at home. I think I just need more out & backs at home. I suppose I could do that anywhere though so it's my fault if there's not enough variety for me. I thought I should start tracking where I am on the Nike+ Challenges so I can see if I'm gaining or losing ground. I think I'll make a google spreadsheet to track that stuff. If I do it I'll put a link to it here. Activity

Week 5, Day 1! Ran outside today
| Ran outside today. I got to run outside today which doesn't sound like much except that I've been doing a lot more treadmill work than I liked when I was out of town last week. That means of course that my shins hurt and that I didn't get any GPS data to use so no Bim posts while on the treadmill. The winter months are what are putting the most fear into me about running. I dislike the treadmill quite a bit, not because it's boring but because I hurt after I run on one and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I thought it was pace, but it doesn't seem to matter if I slow it down or speed it up. My shins hurt when I treadmill it. Today when I ran after two day break going into Week 5 of C25k my shins and calves were still sore from the run 3 days ago! I'd gotten a massage yesterday and the massage therapist commented on how tight my left leg was and he worked to fix it. I'm going to try to go back again tomorrow. I think it helps and it's certainly relaxing. Highly recommend massages to anybody with tension. (The real kind, not the "with happy ending" kind.) So, sore, I ran today, intent on not pushing too hard. Don't want to over-train and cripple myself out of running so soon. I ran gentle with short steps and high turnover and did OK. I felt fine even at the end of the run. It was more running than last week, and the next day of running is even longer, 3 8 minute sections I think it is!!! Maybe just two. I have to look. I wasn't any more or less sore after I ran so the running wasn't a mistake. That's where I was going with that. I got side-tracked. Continuing to run, not looking forward to winter and the treadmill, but looking forward to continued running. I said to my roommate today that I put the elite in athelite (sic). He laughed and politely disagreed. He's seen my running form. :) Activity
