Ice Pack Mode

This morning after work, I finally found the courage to run again. Yes, finally the sun came out and my running shoes are back in business. I took the familiar route and it went off to a good start.

I did 3.05 miles at 17.25 pace about 6,448 steps with a medium intensity for a duration of 53 minutes and 8 seconds and burned 259 calories. It was an easy run with tons of caution mindful of my injured knee.

And speaking of my injured knee... yes, it hurts again when I got back from the 3-mile run. I was kinda worried but then, I know what to do now.  I did my homework, finally.

As soon as I was done with my stretching, I grabbed the frozen veggies that I had to prepare for supper and let it thaw on my sore knee. It did feel better when we were having supper.

Where is Spring?

It has been raining like crazy for days now. Where is the "sun"?

Don't mind me, I am just a whiner. I have been living here in Maine for almost 4 years now so I should get used to the weather. But then, since my knee is still not a-okay... sunny days are of good use to me if I cannot run.

So, running shoes and stilettos alike are back on the shoe-rack and out with the thong sandals.

Test Run

I am not an athlete so this is not an athlete's blog. Though I wish it was.

This is just my "online Running Log or bLog" to keep track of my running progress. Though I doubt it, if I could keep it up. [I got 7 other blogs that I can hardly manage. So good luck on this one. LOL]

I am not a "runner-runner" but I started running just a couple of months back. For some reasons, I enjoy it and I can't believe that I can actually do it. Though not too fast to keep up with the top 1000 finishers. [I guess.]

Well, it all started with a "walk". I started walking... then brisk-walking... next thing I know, I was running - on treadmill, then outdoors [and even in my dreams]. I love it. I enjoy it. And I fancy about it. Though my body is always sore after the work-out [and the long nap].

So, it could be more appropriate to say that I am a walker - thus, the WALK away Diva - is an alternative blog title, if not the more fitted one because... I mostly walk when I go for a run. But hey... I am a believer not just a dreamer, so I will try my best to out-run myself in terms of my presumed physical and psychological limitations.

WARNING:
This is a disturbing blog and I am a disturbing blogger/runner/walker/dreamer. I will blog about "running" even if I am not a runner but a "walker". And I will blog about it out of faith because I am not just a dreamer but a "believer". I will write about it even if I would be the last one to cross the finish line. I will brag about the races that I plan to join and pray that I would finish them so I would really have something to brag about. And I will post photos and write-ups of the races I joined and hope to cross many finish lines and won't get tired of both running and writing.

I am a blogger[slash]runner[slash]walker[slash]dreamer so I would blog about my experiences and progress, struggles and frustrations, successes and failures, joys and pains - of running [and walking and resting too].

So bear with me, as I pick up the pace.
