Went on a run for the first time in at least twelve years. It was awful, I don't understand why people do this at all. I'm going again on Sunday.
Woke up this morning with my legs finally feeling nearly close to normal again so I guess today was the perfect day to turn them into shredded meat all over. I hated every endless minute. Going again on Thursday.
I think I'm beginning to like whatever it is that running does because the running is still awful but I went on an unplanned, impromptu one and shattered my personal best. Still going again on Thursday.
Though distance and duration were pretty much exactly the same for today's run as they were Tuesday, it felt both worse and better. Worse because it felt like I was going slower and got tired sooner. Better because I was able to push and keep going anyway. Going again on Sunday.
☑️ I can feel the novelty fading off, but the satisfaction remains. Improved quite a bit again today, so I'm happy. See you again on Tuesday!
☑️ Another one done! Same run as Sunday, felt slightly more tired. Maybe because it's been a long day.

My right ankle is feeling a little irritated, so I may take it easy and skip Thursday, just to give it some rest.
Skipped Thursday, and while I was planning to go tomorrow (Sunday), I really felt like running tonight. It was good! Almost easy this time. Ankle felt OK too.

I'm thinking I should do the current round a few more times, and then start going longer and farther.
☑️ Today was hard in the beginning, somehow much more than last time, but as I got closer to the end of the run I felt better and like I had some left, so I added a few extra steps. Good feeling at the end of a slow day.

Going again on Saturday (got a hike planned for Thursday).
☑️ Ran with @justinscasey today, who humbled me by running up the hill I couldn't complete until a few times going, all while continuing to make conversation. We agreed we shall make this a regular thing.

Next run again on Tuesday!
☑️ Crushed another one with @justinscasey today.

Also I forgot to post on Tuesday and Thursday, but I did record those on Strava. I'm thinking I should wrap up this thread here, and people can just follow me on Strava if they want to instead. https://www.strava.com/athletes/70660487
