I shambled.
For the first time in SIX MONTHS, I shambled. I strapped on my
birthday present (in those colors, too!), got myself on the treadmill, and I shambled. I took it easy ... I limited myself to a mile, at a relatively slow pace (started at 5 mph, worked up to 5.8 over the course of that mile). I could have EASILY gone another mile, which is awesome, considering that I haven't run in half a year. Right now my hip is feeling it just a little; we'll see what things feel like in the morning. If it's OK, I'll go again sometime early next week. And so on, until I no longer feel like a total slacker. Whoo!
