It proved to be a little rough getting started. I've already had to do one workout on a treadmill (in Chicago, natch - I have feeling last year's long night at the office will be this year's travel for client visits) and actually had to walk for part of a 3-miler.
And then . . . today. Today running felt simple again. Aside from the requisite self check-ins, I wasn't constantly worried about my breathing or feeling like I was laboring each step. One foot fell nicely in front of the other, I kept a surprisingly decent pace, my left knee didn't send me any signals and my ankles felt great! The weather was also pretty awesome, and I even received a few fist-pumps from cyclists and other runners heading in the other direction.
I was admittedly nervous about the prospect of going 26.2 a few weeks ago. Today, I feel ready. For the training, that is. Not for the race. YET.
