First Run of the New Year!...

Finally got it going yesterday.  Here's the route:






This could be considered the "Touch the Swans" route.  Basically, run out from my house, to the west and north until you hit the Black Swan subdivision.  There are two "Black Swans" on the entry signs to the neighborhood that I touch when I get there.  Pretty simple.  There are MANY potential routes to get there as you can see from this map, but this is probably how I will refer to this "route" going forward.

Pretty happy about the run though.  My endurance "capacity" and overall feeling was pretty good, and I felt that I was moving at a decent pace.  What wasn't nice, was my right foot.  I have some special inserts for my shoes that combat a little "plantar fasciitis" problem in my left foot.  However, I wear the same insert on my right foot as well.  Usually, it doesn't give me much trouble, but I think that's going to have to change going forward.  I might swing by one of those "goodfeet" stores to see if they can help me out.

The route was nice, the weather was in the mid to upper 40's for the duration and I stayed plenty warm.  My asthma was held at bay, too.  Advair is a wonderful drug.  As for the time - I need to find my Polar HR watch!  That, and get a new heard rate strap for it.

I'm hoping to get in a 3-4 miler tonight just to keep things loose.  We shall see.  Yay, endorphins!

Until next time,       D
