Faster Running

[livingdeb]

My jog today went much easier than usual.

Normally I have to keep telling myself that it doesn't matter how pathetically slow I'm going. What matters is that I'm getting my heart pumping for a while and exercising my running muscles. And that's how I make it through the jog.

Today the jogging felt good the whole time. I never felt like quitting (except for thinking I'm tired of doing this and want to do something else now), and it felt like I was going faster than usual. And in fact it took me less than 23 minutes to do the route I took 26 minutes to do last weekend.

I'm going to pretend that some of my new habits are making me into a more fit person and so I will keep having nice runs in the future.

(Because writing down everything you eat is good exercise for your finger muscles, and fingers are actually much more important for jogging than people think. Or something.)

Humidity levels might have something to do with why it feels different. Though last week was very dry, I think, and today is sort of normal (and in between it was very wet)!
