yesterday i walked/jogged a 5k with my cousin for girls on the run and decided i want to become a runner. i have hated running since i was 12 but i’m gonna run a marathon someday. i’m starting this blog to chronicle my running adventures. my best mile time ever was 9:48, half-running/half-walking, almost three years ago when i was in better shape.
today i tried to run a mile on the hilly roads near my house (1mi, 87ft change in elevation each way) but got wayyyy out of breath and bad generally so i turned around and ended up walking and running 0.68mi, same elevation as the planned route. it was also like 80 degrees and i have terrible pollen allergies so that made it truly hellish. i’ve got a silly cough now because of it.
gonna train on the treadmill at the gym before i run outside in the summer during peak allergy season. i need to be able to run in idealized conditions before i consider road running lol.
