On the Road Again

Last night felt awesome! It wasn't my best time or the prettiest run but just being back outside exercising was well worth it. Temps had cooled down somewhat by the time I opted to venture out for a run. My training partner and I ran 3.5 miles. I opted to walk 3 of the bigger inclines/hills in an attempt to keep my heart rate in my zone. A lot of the reading I'd done about returning to exercise after a tonsillectomy has to do with extreme fluctuations in blood pressure. I felt this was the safest way to get myself back into it. Legs felt good and weight loss really feels good. I am hoping that I can keep the pounds lost off or at least half of them. Admittedly, I am bummed that I am doing 3.5 miles when the schedule this week calls for 16.5 miles. Unfortunately, we aren't always in control of what our bodies need. I can't believe it's 54 days until the half IM in Augusta!
