Running sucks less...

...when you start getting used to it. Running for the first time hurts, but the body adapts. I upped my mileage today to 8.8K in preparation for the 10K at the end of the month. Took it reeeeeeeeeal easy. I was afraid it would really suck, especially since I didn't get out there until 11am as the temps were getting into the mid 80s. It really wasn't so bad. Almost pleasant even, since I left the watch at home and didn't care about my time. Saw some ducks, a big turtle sunning itself, some bikinis... :) Didn't even stop to walk, except once for some water at the first lap of two around Lake Harriet. I think it's time to get some tunes going though. Something motivating once the pace starts ramping up.
