Oh how the mind remembers and yet the body forgets. In my twenties when I was a runner, I could jump out of bed, throw on my shoes and be out the door. Within a few seconds, my body would be warmed up, and I would be feeling fine and at pace. Today, arrgghhh!!! Now, it seems like I first need some caffeine, then a little walking around to loosen up, and then when I start to jog, it seems like a good half mile before my body finds a groove. I hope this is just the effects of a long lay off and that as I get more into my training my old body will come back.
Training wise, I just finished a nice 7 mile jog, felt strong except for the last mile.
On a side note, I think a higher power definitely endorsees my marathon training. Ever since I announced it to everyone that I was training to run in one in June, we have had almost perfect running weather. And its January...in Spokane!
