I went on my first, non-treadmill run on Saturday. Up the hill to Phinney (holy crap, was that hard), then going north one black and back down the hill until I got back to the apartment. It was almost exactly one mile, and boy did I feel it the next day. My shins were killing me, but my hips felt loose this time – a decided improvement. Thanks again to Josh for the running shoes! So far, I’ve lost 14 pounds all told, and I can feel the Levothroid helping already. I have much more energy in the morning, and I can actually see the scale move.
I’ve been going to the gym in the mornings now, because after I get down with work and grad classes, the only thing I want to do is lie down on the couch and zen out. The downside, of course, is getting up at 6am. Blah.
