Running is HARD
I went running outdoors this morning. Let me tell you, there is a huge difference between treadmill and road running. I was in major pain throughout my run, and had to stop to walk a number of times. I cannot tell if it's a psychological barrier or if it is actually working different muscles, but I'd probably guess it's a little of both. It probably didn't help that it's slightly rainy and in the mid-40s today. To be honest, the temperature didn't bother me too much, but the weight of my clothes sure did. I need some dry-fit clothes or some other technology that causes the clothing to stay light in the rain and when soaked with sweat.
After the run I drove the course to see how far I ran. 5.3 miles! Wow! That was impressive! If you've been keeping track on the runTracker on the left of the screen, you'll know that I've been running between 2.5 and 3.5 miles per day on the treadmill. I'm pretty pumped, and impressed with my performance today, but I am already really really sore, so I cannot imagine how I'll feel in the morning...
Big presentation tomorrow. I've been preparing for it for a while, but it turns out that I'll be doing a different topic than I had expected, so I'll have some extra work to do this evening...d'oh.
Ohh, we're doing an Experience Prototype in Design Club this afternoon. It's gonna be great!
