slowly but surely
Did 2.7 miles today in 23.8 minutes. That's 8.8 min/mi. Getting back down to my normal pace at that distance.

I'M BACK.
After ~6.5 weeks since my last run, I am back! Yesterday, I just felt bored and depressed and had no energy. I almost didn't run today because when I got there, the meters were reserved for buses or something... luckily I found one meter open near a dorm closeby.
Ran 6 laps in LANE 3 (mostly lane 3-- first 1/2 lap I was in lane 6, but let's just say lane 3)...
LANE 3 = 454 yds
Total distance = 2724 yds or ~1.5 miles
Total time = ~12:51 min
I was sweating like a hog and when I stopped running I didn't feel too great... I also had a little chest tightness when I was running... no pain, but tightness. Definitely a sign of being out of shape. My MP3 player ran out of battery right when I stopped running... haha perfect timing.
Oh yeah, and I also broke my asics cherry today and used them on the run for the first time.

Do it.
I need to run. I've been feeling lethargic all this time... especially today. It's weird that you can be physically tired from not being active.
I didn't run that much after the 10K since I needed new shoes. I also felt like I needed to rest after that race. And, it's weird that I haven't gone out to do stuff like running (or other things) because I feel like I'd feel guilty for not staying at home to write or look for work. I logically know that that's not the case-- running gives you energy and I have tons of time to do anything I want plus get a ton of work done... I guess it's just an excuse.
Anyways, just thought I'd write a post since I'm fed up with myself being inactive. I need that energy and I'm going to try my new Asics that I got on July 4th. Tomorrow morning... it's on!

Comback time
OK ankle is healing. Did a run today:
1.2 mi / 11.25 min = 10.7 min/mi
Shoes aren't easy to find for some reason.
1.2 mi / 11.25 min = 10.7 min/mi
