Sore

I went on my first run in two months yesterday morning.  Even at 9 am, it was hot and humid!  I only did one loop around the golf course, and I was S-L-O-W.  Not very encouraging at all. =(  Once the lacrosse season is over, I'll have to pick it up again.  I'll probably top out around 8 miles and then increase it when I get closer to the race.  It is sad to see that I struggled with this run when a mere two months ago, I was running 6+ miles consistently.  That's the nature of the beast.  I still don't know why I'm so sore though.  I do more sprinting, changing direction when I ref and I would think my jogging muscles would be the same as my reffing ones.  Maybe it was the sustained usage that caused it.  Either way, it felt good to get out there and I really did like my new running shoes.  I did hit a new all time low when I weighed myself after the run.  That's good news too!
