Another Running Effort

After a long lapse, I went for another run today. I followed the podcast that someone that someone made to help people follow the Couch-to-5K running plan. It provides music with a beat and queues for running/walking intervals.

Week one alternates 60-second runs with 90-second walks. I laugh to myself when I hear the voice telling me that I shouldn't be breathing hard and should be able to have a conversation during the running intervals.

I don't know what the best running attire for cold weather, but after the five minute warm-up I didn't feel too bad. I'm sure there are colder days ahead, though.

I finished the run and feel good.

Temperatures reaching well into the 50's the next two days. Good jogging weather.

The best running attire for cold weather involves curling up on the couch with your wife and son, drinking hot chocolate and watching a movie :-)

Seriously, good luck with the running! Maybe we can do a 5K sometime next year. That is if I don't kill myself with bacon before then... ;-)

I started running 22 years ago. I started out at a local track; run one lap, walk one lap. Now I do triathlons and love it.
I can never run and talk though so don't feel bad.
