I made good on my wish and went for a little run this morning. After purchasing the trail running shoes, I didn't have any shorts or shirts for running so I went by Walmart and got something to wear. When I got up this morning, I felt awful. No energy or desire to get out there. If it wasn't for having to go get Nikki's hammock, I'd have stood in bed. But having that chore, I rolled out, got dressed, and drove out to the Sylaward trail. There I rolled out for a little 4 mile run. I thought my first run out there would be great if I just made it up the ridge and around that loop and back. But once out there, I felt fine and just kept on going. In fact, I believe I could have kept on for a lot longer. Maybe even the whole 14 mile trail. One thing was on my mind. I was concerned that my knees, hips, and feet might have problems since it has been a long time from my last effort at running. Apparently cycling has kept me cardiovascularly fit.
