Hopped over snow and ice in Riverside Park. Sun’s so bright when it’s cold.
Very little wildlife to remark on. Canadian geese, all hunched into themselves.
The cold air burns your lungs after 10 minutes.
But I listened to Pandora with Britney Spears – that keeps you running. She’s good music to run to. “You wanna piece o’ me?”
Yesterday, I tried to run for longer than 13 minutes.
They (http://www.fromcouchto5k.com) say you should have a goal. That is my pathetic goal.
Yesterday I made it running from my house to the georgeousness of the Riverside garden near the Hippo Park. (All of New York is measured for me in playgrounds.) I think that’s almost 20 blocks (from about 76th to about 95th).
I was so tired after 11 minutes, I had to walk around the garden. There are still bees and blooms. The beauty inspired me. I started running again. And I ran for oh, about 10 minutes.
So, I ran for 11 minutes, walked for 1 minute, ran again for 10 minutes. I’ve gotta run for longer than 13 minutes.
Here’s another goal – to run a 5K before New Year’s Day. 2010.
