Running Long Distances

March 22, 2009

Planning to have the time available to run long distances seems to take as much time as the running of the longer distances themselves.

Today I ran 13.0 miles for the first time since 2001.

I was somewhat apprehensive about running 13.0 miles on a Sunday morning but its the only time both work and family commitments wane.

After running, I soaked my feet in cold water and took an ice cold shower.

Combined these two actions brought my core temperature down and reinvigorated me.

I then went and played a set of tennis with my oldest son.

Today was the first time I had swung a tennis racket – let alone played a set of Tennis – in over 20 years.
