What a beautiful quote. I assume you run in the morning then?
Sometimes I run in the morning and sometimes I don't. I find my ideal running time is around 10:30 am.
It's been a couple of weeks since I've run and I really miss it. I've been playing tennis a lot though and it's super fun. Been playing at night from 8:30 - 10:00. It's a seriously fun game and the exercise is great.
Oh yeah I'm well aware. My girlfriend played tennis in high school and she's way better than I am. When we were at our old place we'd ride our tandem bike to nearby courts and play until 10 when the lights went out. I just went on my maiden run. It was only 1.3 miles, but I think that's the farthest I've ever consecutively run. A friend of mine gave me a pair of Brooks running shoes last night and they worked really well.
I'm not really too sure how to feel about it. It seems that I was making a large fuss about something so easy. Running is easy.
How often a week is recommended to run? Is daily too much?
I don't think daily is too much. When I was in my best running shape I would run every other day and make whatever day fell on a weekend a long run. Back then it was 3-4 mile runs for the easy ones and then a 6-8 mile run on the weekend. This was in training for a 1/2 marathon. If you have any running questions, cliffelam was my running guru and I'm sure he could steer you in the right direction. I am on my second pair of Brooks "Ghosts" and I really like them a lot. I know resources are slim when you are a college student, but investing in a good pair of running shoes isn't a bad idea if you plan to stick with it. As cliffelam will tell you, many people run too long in a shoe and they can be harmful at that point or even dangerous. 1.3 is a respectable maiden run, I hope you stick with it and enjoy it. edit: I just finished two sets of tennis and had a blast. It's fast becoming one of my favorite past times.
Well, I did 1.3 yesterday and 2.9 today. My legs are not happy. I think I'm going to do the every other day routine. I'll be aware of if these shoes make me uncomfortable. If they do I'll throw down on some shoes. The local running shop gives a discount to students which is nice. Who do you play tennis with?
Or run in proportion to how much beer you drink? Haha, just kidding. I might have a beer or two a week so I think I'm still in the clear.
