My last C25k run (week 9, day 3 - 30min of non-stop running) was completed yesterday, and I had the privilege of running with public service blogger and colleague Nick Charney. Nick's an inspiration for me professionally as he is amazingly nimble at navigating the bureaucracy where we work, but he's also an inspiration on the fitness side of things - he recently completed a half-marathon and has only been running for four months or so!
The run itself consisted of a few laps around a nearby urban lake, totalling 5.29k. At about 4.2k, my phone rang and I had to take the call. I forgot that Runkeeper pauses its recording if a phone call is answered, and forgot to restart it afterward, so the last seven minutes or so of the run didn't get mapped.
After about 10 days of not running at all, it felt great to get outdoors again. Summer's gone and winter is upon us... I'll have to get some better running clothes for cold weather - the sweat pants and hoodie worked well enough yesterday, but they won't be that helpful once the snow flies.
