Saturday morning started off great with family and I going to my nephews basketball game. After the game I stepped outside and felt something very strange... It was actually warm out! Somehow did not get the memo that it was going to be such a beautiful day and was wearing long sleeves and had a jacket. Now possessing the knowledge that is was pretty much the nicest that it has been in months I decided to try my luck at running outside on real earth instead of the treadmill at work. I picked Lake Lynn for my inaugural outdoor run because it used to be my favorite place to run about 6 years ago. I started off slow but became pretty comfortable running in the first 1/2 mile. A couple of the hills were challenging but soon enough I hit my stride and before I knew it I had made it the 2.2 miles around the lake. I decide to walk for a few minutes to cool down but I still felt great so I started to run again. To my amazement and delight I ran around the lake again for a total of 4.4 miles. I figure that I walked about .4 to .5 miles after my first time around. I don't know my official time because my iPhone app crapped out after the first .6 miles. So next time around I will bring a watch to something more reliable than my wonderful iPhone. I guess that things are going pretty well since I am able to run 4+ miles after just 2 weeks of working out. Oh, the beard is coming along nicely as well. I'll add some pictures this week for sure.
