How can I be such a slacker and full of excuses?! That's right I haven't been running. It's amazing how an injury can side-track a person. After the 8-month plantar faciitis episode, it's the rotator cuff issue, which I blame my running partner on...Ralphie. Just recently I went in for my second cortisone shot. I still have a shoulder problem. But again, excuses, excuses.
Today my running partner, Ralphie got me up and running. I decided to skip the dog park after work and go on a run with Ralphie...well it was more of a walk/run. I'm quite out of the running groove. Haven't been running, but still walking. Today we ran 2 1/2 miles at a very slow pace averaging 12 minute mile. Yes, I know it's slow but I have more excuses for that ... sniffing delays, potty delays, squirrel chasing, lizard pulling. But overall, Ralphie is a good running partner, truly the slower pace is mostly my fault, which is ... out of shape! Hahaha
But I can say one thing ... at least we took the first step AGAIN and got out there and ran! And yes, it DID feel good!!
Congratulations on your come back ! and those delays, sniffing delays, potty delays, squirrel chasing, lizard pulling, BEST dang excuses EVER !
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hahahaha...you are so right!! That's why Ralphie is my running partner...I need someone to blame for my sub-par running time.
