And "ouch" was what I said when I tried to start running today. Clearly I started this little Challenge without enough preparation, I guess. Too much, too soon, too fast for a non-runner. This morning I had painful shins and extremely tight hamstrings from the past two days.
So I just walked the whole thing. I also paused along the way to take some photos with my iPhone and upload them, plus I confess I read a couple of email, too. So it wasn't that I was totally trying for time. I just wanted the movement over distance.
So I got that goal in, finished the 3rd day in a row and had a good time (if you don't count the shins). My hamstrings were so tight (even after a decent warm up and lots of stretching) that the time was pretty bad, but I'll deal with that in the days to come.
Here's a short video (notice I've been working on improving the lighting) recapping the day.
