30 Day Challenge - Day 20

Yesterday, I went for a run. And by run I mean I was all but running in place moving very slowly. I could have walked faster than I was running. I'm not kidding. I tried to walk instead and Georgia kept saying "Nope. No stopping. No walking. Come on, let's go Lyss." Let me just tell you, it felt completely useless. I have read the articles from experts on how running is better for you than walking, even running slowly. And how you need to train slow to learn how to run right. And how there is a technique to running (a concept that is just weird to me - if my body was designed to outrun a lion when I am being chased, why is my running not efficient already?). I still felt like it was a useless exercise. But let me just tell you, my leg and glute muscles are seriously sore this morning so apparently this slow running thing has some merit. :) Aren't my new running shoes pretty? I arranged them all nice and neat to take a picture and then the dog came up and knocked them over as I was taking the picture which is why it is a bit lopsided. Speaking of the dogs, wanna see some photos? (Of course you do, why did I even ask such a silly question?) Faith being cute and eating her toy. Sunny looking at me like I am crazy for throwing her toy on the couch next to her. The dogs were really snuggly this morning which is great except I am in black pants, have lint rolled them twice, and I still have dog hair EVERYWHERE. Oh well, this is the price I pay for having cute fluffy creatures in the house. Have a great Tuesday! I hope it is drier for you wherever you are then it is here in Tuscaloosa today!
