When I played softball, we used to have one day off a week, and the day after our day of rest, I always felt out of shape and like I was unable to move as well. So I was worried that by taking off three days, I would get that feeling back. My friend Allison, who played softball with me, and is currently training for a marathon, told me that comparing practice to a run is not the same. I admit, I had my doubts, but she was right. When I went for my run yesterday, I felt completely fine, if anything I felt better than I did last week. My muscles were no longer sore and I was actually able to sprint the last two intervals. This may also have been attributable to the fact that it is getting darker sooner now, and when I started my run at 6:30 it was still light, but the longer I ran the darker it got SLASH it definitely was the reason because I'm a huge wuss and hate the dark.
There were quite a few more people out running yesterday than I saw last week, but luckily I saw no dogs. I did however run past an all white cat with red eyes... that was a little spooky, but I lived to tell about it, so I guess we're all good.
In short, after my three day hiatus, I finally got myself moving again!
