Today's workout: run 10-15 minutes. To me, this meant run 15 minutes since I can easily run for 10 minutes and this is supposed to get me ready to run for like 45 minutes so I best start hard.
It's decent outside, warm, around 40 degrees with some sunshine poking through the clouds. A little chilly with the wind, but nothing too strong, so I figured I should run outside. I drove over to Veteran's Park, which has a nice little loop (~.44 mile) that I just run around. Plus, it's very small and in the middle of a neighborhood, so lots of people bring their families and dogs that I can creep on while I run.
I finished about 2.5 loops, which according to my slightly deficient running watch, is about 1.13 miles in 15 minutes. Not bad. About a 13.27 pace, which is not bad. I'm definitely not looking for speed here.
If anyone is getting into running and can't afford a fancy GPS-tracking watch and has to use one with a pedometer that can never quite calculate the distance correctly, I highly recommend using MapMyRun.com. I usually map my route before I go, so I know just how far it is going to be. Plus, if you have an iPod/iPhone (and internet where you're running), you can map it as you run. I am not that fortunate, but maybe one day.
Anyways, I feel good after that jog. (Technically, I am not "running" since that requires a 5mph pace. Eff that.) Time to shower, eat lunch, hunt for quarters and try to finish the rest of the laundry.
Ciao for now.
