A return to some beneficial exercise as I had a fairly good run and a enjoyable long walk in the late afternoon. Just need to keep up the effort and maintain a positive attitude.
It took about a mile to loosen up my hips and get into a comfortable rhythm on my run. It was a fairly flat road route so not that exciting but at least my effort wad better and it felt stronger (although I still have a long ways to go to get back to my desired fitness level) although it's pitiful that I was able to run over 70 miles at the Jackpot Ultra just a year ago. I would have done better if it hadn't been for developing shin splints late in the race 馃馃馃.
After treating Lulu to some playtime at the dog park I felt good enough to go for a long walk on my favorite hilly road loop - something that I hadn't been doing for quite a while recently. While it wasn't as quick as I've done in the past it still felt good to get out and enjoy the wonderful afternoon and burn off a few more calories. Hopefully I'll feel well tomorrow and be able to continue running we'll.
