What did you do with your Z today III

Ran 5 miles this morning in 52:57, about a minute and a half slower than last week's time of 51:14. I'm not sure what happened. I thought that I was moving at a better pace than last week -- obviously not. I gotta stop doggin' it.

Anyway, when the wife returns from the tennis club, we're gonna take the Z out to lunch. I'm looking forward to it. I need to eat after a morning run. I ate a yogurt/granola/strawberry cup to sustain me for a while, but the stomach can't last too much longer! I need to eat!

While out, I'm also gonna buy some headphones for my ASUS Transformer Prime tablet. I hate the crappy buds. These will be real decent headphones, but nothing super special ... just something to get the job done.

That's still an impressive time. I could probably run five miles in 6 hours. I'd have to stop off and nap in between.

Yeah, I usually buy new headphones with any device. Ear buds don't fit in my ears, as I have cauliflower ears. The lone exception are the Beats headphones that came with my HTC Rezound. They're pretty awesome.

You could do it. Just start with 1/4 mile. Then, run a 1/2 mile. Continue with a 1/2 mile for a while. Then, when that becomes easy, run a 3/4 mile, or even a mile. Do a mile for a while. Then, add a 1/2 mile for a 1 1/2 mile run. As the runs get easier, keep adding a 1/4 or 1/2 mile. After a while, you'll be up to 2, then 3, then 4, or even 5 miles.

Keep in mind that you are not racing against anyone. Your times are personal to you. Don't overdo it, though. Listen to your body. If your legs begin to say, "Uncle," then stop, stretch, etc. There'll be another day. The trick to running is to start, and to do it consistently -- maybe 3 or 4 times per week. If you're not running, you can substitute other types of cardio exercises. I also do P90X routines.
