Running (C25K) 40:49 3.1 mi (13:10 / mi)
Week 1 #1
I finally realized that I need a laid out plan that tells me what to do to ensure a better rate of exercise days. And, the last time I was back East, I went out with Marit and Bob to do their Couch to 5K plan for the day, and that seemed pretty handy. So, I looked into it, and it seems like it should work for me. It's an app that let's you listen to your music but during the music playing, the exercise lady tells you when to run and when to walk. Which works out perfectly because I can't really see my watch without my reading glasses, which I don't wear when I'm running/walking. Plus, it's kind of dark now, so that makes it even worse. So all I have to do is do my loop around Wash Park and every so often, the lady tells me to run, so I do.
Today was my first day, and it worked out just fine. My hip didn't hurt so much either. I think my problem there is that I would go from doing nothing to running a longish time, and that might not have been the best plan. So this run/walk approach might help me ease into it without hurting anything. I'll still go to the doctor next week just for a knee/hip check-up, but it might turn out that I can manage this just fine.

The last of the really nice days, for a while at least. Thanksgiving weekend is going to stay down in the 20s and 30s, so I thought I'd take advantage of the nice weather and get out for a bike ride. It felt good after a weekend of lots of choring and catching up on orienteering stuff.
