Guys I just...love running? I finally found a way to make a fitness habit stick, and now that I have, I'm in the throes of enjoying it. I love knowing what kind of extra running gear I need, after so much trial and error (cap, sunglasses, sunblock if you know what's good for you!!!). I love feeling and noticing how my body is becoming more powerful--it's such an ecstatic delight to realize what had me keeling over two weeks ago I can do now with confidence. I love becoming a fixture in the neighborhood (people are recognizing me! I am now the girl who grins at dogs, the girl who tries and fails to help kids get their balls back when they throw it too far but the kids think it's sweet and funny, and of course, the girl who runs). I love having a fav warm up and cool down YouTuber (thanks Run with Ash) . I love posting pictures of my run and having a lil secret private Instagram page where I track my health progress. It's just so nice. From someone who found it so difficult to exercise, when you find the thing that helps you, it is so so nice
#this is good energy#good job random stranger!#I should work on keeping this kind of energy#also I’m going to look up that YouTube you recommended

I was going to jog but it’s very, very rainy outside so I’ll hold off until tomorrow. Hopefully by then my Shokz will be in!!

Ok so we’re in between season of ZR and I’m not so much “out of things to listen to” as I am “caught up”. I like the main story line and that’s all I’ve ever really followed, but I was following along with season 10 and now that’s done and there’s no season 11 yet. So I’ve gone back and I’m listening to ZR Season 4 Radio Mode, which is interesting. I had been listening to it wayyy back but accidentally restarted it halfway through and didn’t care enough to listen all the way through to get to the bits I hadn’t heard yet. So now I’m relistening to it and remembering that I only ever cared about Don and Bas! And I haven’t heard from them in WEEKS! Where are Dom and Bas!! Are they coming back?? Last I heard was not good :( and I’d like them to live happily ever after with the two-headed dog. I’m sure Hugh and Elouise are very nice but they are getting in the way of me listening to Afterlife On Earth 😭

2:14 pm; 86° at 55% humidity and 9 mph wind; 1.5 miles; 19:21; 12:53/mi; ZRS4 Radio Mode; ok so it was a little warm but very cloudy and some strong wind gusts. It had drizzled off and on all morning, but I only felt a few droplets during the jog. Star jasmine is still blooming and fragrant. I passed (someone I assume to be) a neighbor who was walking like 3 times since we were going in opposite directions and I almost wanted to introduce myself to him. No goslings today :(. Clovers are still in bloom. Jog was not pleasant. I need to get someone to come with me I’m so bored of jogging in this stupid circle.
You can see in my heart rate that I walked like a lot in this brief 1.5 miler. I’ve got to slow down over all and work on steadiness.

10:55 am; 81°; 1.5 miles; 20:40; 13:45/mi; ZRS4 Radio Mode; This has been a rough week for jogging. I walked A Lot today and it was warmer than is comfortable. Also, there were two dead baby birds on my doorstep so I started off unhappy. But it is important that I went anyway. This week has a 3 day break which is not ideal. My right calf hurt on Monday, but it feels fine today so that’s good. And even if I didn’t want to jog, it really is a beautiful day and worth being outside for some of it. And I saw the baby geese, which was nice.

8:36 am; 55° at 58% humidity and 9mph winds; 1.5 miles; 19:26; 12:57/mi; Very, very sunny with just a few wispy clouds in the sky. The goslings are a little bigger, with darker feathers on their wings, but still very yellow over all. It was chilly, but pleasantly so. I did not want to jog at the time, but in retrospect it was a lovely day for a jog, and it really is nice when I get to sleep in and still jog before work. I tried to go “slow and steady” but my speed varied a lot as usual and I had to stop for a truck when I crossed the street. Star jasmine is still in bloom and very fragrant.

6:25 am; 68°, 0.67 miles; 12:07; w/roommate. It was nice to be outside, and it is always pleasant to have her company. This week was hard for jogging because I was house sitting, so it was important for me to at least get out a little bit this morning.

8:40 am; 69° at 82% humidity; 1.5 miles; 19:50; 13:10/mi; ZRS4 Radio Mode; 238.5; Today, I stoped to walk A Lot, partly because I did not want to run but mostly because it is spring and that means GOSLINGS! And baby turtles and the magnolias are in bloom and the star jasmine is SO fragrant! I saw squirrels, starlings, mourning doves, domestic mallards, Canada geese, and a Pomeranian.

9:14 am; 72° at 81% humidity and 5 mph wind; 1.5 miles; 19:00; 12:36/mi; ZRS4 Radio Mode; 240.4; wow that was rough. My legs did not want to move at all and I stopped for a few walks. Saw the domestic mallards and Canada geese. Weather was very muggy and it somehow felt much warmer than it really is. Sun started very bright but it was intermittent clouds by the end.

6:15pm; 77° at 43% humidity 5 mph wind; 2 miles; 25:26; 12:41/mi; zrs4 radio mode; I did not want to run, but really it was a beautiful day and good weather for a short jog. I jogged 2 miles, but did stop to catch my breath. It was good to get away from the computer screen and to move around a bit. Today was very sedentary. I see the value of being outside and jogging for a little bit, I guess.

9:29 am; 73°; 2 miles; 25:03; 12:30/mile; ZRS9 Radio Mode; So this one is kind of weird because I was going pretty good, but then my phone fell out of my pocket and I didn’t notice. It wasn’t until like .15 miles later when my earbuds disconnected (right after the 1 mile mark) that I realized I’d lost my phone. So I had to kind of slowly backtrack until I found it. Then I tried to finish my run but I never really got back into the groove of it. Oh well. I did have three ducks fly low right over me and that was cool.

6:36 am; 1.5 miles; 17:46; 11:51/mi; I am not at all confident the treadmill is calibrated correctly. Regardless, I did a run and it was not the worst thing in the world.

8:17 am; 72°; 1.5 miles; 18:41; 12:27/mi; ZRS5M1; I once again forgot to write a runner’s log. My bad. But I do remember I was intentional about getting back into jogging in April. A lot of things out of my control made March very difficult but I was determined to get April off to a good start.
