This is where it starts

Now that I have been cleared to do this medically, I actually wanted to wait until May to start the actual training. The reasoning behind it is that I am facing very irregular times. On Thursday we are going to Holland for a birthday in the family, we have Jewish festivities coming up next month and in the end of April we are going on a longer holiday with the whole family. All these are moments where I will loose momentum and for this reason I wanted to start training once this period is over.

On the other hand, it's also an opportunity to start training early and take what I can. I figured if I started today and tomorrow, at least I get used to running on sore legs and if I run whenever there is a moment to spare, I should get myself even better prepared. So I decided that I would do a 5km run today and I'll attempt to do another one tomorrow.

Conditions were ok for running today. Cold and humid, but I felt fresh and fit and that is visible in my stats below. Due to the 'shorter' run the training effect was lower than normal on this course. However I managed to focus more on my technique and this greatly improved my speed. In total I did 5km in 25 minutes or 5 min per kilometer.

I keep finding out that many people have not heard of the runningproject@runningproject or its bot isotonic@isotonic, so if you're a runner and want to be rewarded, just join our community. It's easy and quick and the 1 SBD or Steem is earned back in no time as you get an upvote on EACH post, not just the ones about running.

Keep running and stay fit!
