Shaking off the Rust

So today was the first day that I officially ran since the 10 miler on June 16th. I brought my running shoes to the beach, but I hate running on sand and the grand notions I had of running on the boardwalk were quickly dashed. Turns out Myrtle Beach (or Surfside) doesn't have a boardwalk. I tried one day to run around our resort complex, but I quickly tired of the scenery. So, I didn't run. 

Today, I did run. I was a little sore because I just started Insanity yesterday. To which I deemed myself rather unfit after completing the first of four fit test. Due to my soreness, it was a little bit of an adjustment period for my 3 mile run today. I started a warm-up, then ran 3/4 of mile continuously. I walked for a little bit, then ran up a hill and consequently down a hill, and then I walked, then I ran, and I finished with a brief cool down. 

Towards the end of the run, I noticed that the tightness in my muscles was beginning to go away. If it were later on in my training and I had been running for a while, then I think would be more concerned about the tightness. But, its been almost two weeks since I had last run and I knew there would be a few problems. I think once I get back into the groove and I stop being so sore from my other workout regimens that I will be able to run no problem.

Well happy running!
