Another session of pavement pounding

Ok...so tomorrow I have to get out in the cold for day 2 of my running extravaganza redo. Heres the problem. I can barely walk. All other attempts to run in the previous 4 weeks, happened either at the track on on the treadmill. But I decided that in order to keep up a rhythm I need not make an ordeal out of it. Getting up an driving to the track or gym usually means more reasons to not go. Not wanting to drive, my car breaking down. (which happens all the time by the way).

But there is no excuse when I just have to put tennis shoes on and go. Although, there is always an excuse. IE the freezing rain or the wind or all the other awful winter weather. All that said to say...running outside on saturday did a number on my muscles and joints. And walking is currently a huge chore. But the show must go on and I must run 26 miles eventually so I need to whip my joints and muscles into shape. So tomorrow I'll let you know how it goes.
