4.5miles untimed

I ran on the road after ages yesterday. I'm fasting these days, so I can't run during the day, but my response so far was to not run at all.

Yesterday my roommate said I was looking fat.

At 3am.

So I put on my shoes and hit the road, planning on just walking, but then I couldn't help myself and ran/walked the 4.5 miles. It wasn't quite an unbroken run, but that wasn't the point. I interspersed it with skipping about and just having a good time. The weather was great, and it all felt really nice.

The one black mark was the realization that about 18 months ago, I had almost exactly the same physical fitness as I do today. There were times in between when I was much fitter, but let exercise go for a few weeks and you lose it all very quickly.

Anyway, I guess the positive is that I haven't bloated as badly as I could have...

Haha. Sounds like fun. The run part I mean. Not getting called fat.

Man, I know what you mean. My fitness level is about the same too. After 9-5....
