The snow outside was frightful, and vacation was so delightful, I had no place to go ... so I went to the gym for a run tonight. Betcha thought I'd come up with something more clever. Wrong :-)
Anyway, I got in 4 fairly easy miles, although it was a harder time than I thought it would be. My legs felt tight and the back of my legs were sore. Must have still been feeling it from my 5-miler yesterday.
The pace was about 8:40/mile for a total of 34:40. I'm glad I got it in though, I need to drop a few lbs. gained from too much vacation indulgence.
When growing up we used to had a poster on the door headed down to the basement. It simply read: "Those who indulge, bulge" and had a picture of a pig on it. I always thought it was humorous, but it is a lesson I remember, but frequently have a hard time following.
Tis the season, I suppose, but hopefully I can keep weight gain to a minimum.
