First Run

I think I strained my right knee a little yesterday when I timed a 50 with fins. To give my swimming legs a break, I went to the gym this evening. And since this is an American Idol decision night, I had to use a machine with its own TV monitor. The choice was between an evil elliptical machine or a treadmill -- that choice was easy.

I am not a runner. I haven't really run since Coach made me run in high school. I claim it's hard on my knees. Probably is, though what I remember from high school is having my knees go numb after running for a few minutes. I guess that's better than pain.

Anyway...I ran 3 miles in about 30 minutes. For me, that's a record! ;-)

Oh, and that hurt knee? Feels fine now, though the other one feels a little tight from running. I'll have to stretch tonight before going to bed.

So...any other runs on the horizon?

Probably. I still prefer swimming, but I've been having problems getting to the pool in the middle of the day. In the evening, it's easier to do something faster.

Actually, I've been having problems getting time to exercise, period. That's why I'm blogging about it though: the guilt keeps me going. ;-)
