Ever wanted to (re)discover some muscle groups, be ashamed at yourself, have fun and be surprised all at the same time? Try running after not running for half a year.
What’s somewhat surprising is that swimming and biking apparently do zilch for the muscles needed in running. Subsequently, the shame comes from the realization of what a crappy shape these muscles in question can be in after neglecting running for the winter.
All of that leads to the inevitable rediscovery of these muscles. That’ll happen by tomorrow at the latest.
The fun part, I gather, needs no explanation. Exercising is fun and any resulting pain somehow belongs to a better, more acceptable, category of pain than other pains.
And more things on the upside; it’s actually warm enough to run outside without nasty side effects like pneunomia. Yay! And light enough to be doing that under sunshine at 8pm.
(And no it’s not yet nice and green here as in the picture. But who wants to look at a photo of a pile of last years semi-rotten leaves topped with a grey layer of gravel dust?)
