In the Zone

I’ve decided to start running – this time for real ;)  Today was my first day back.  I ended up running for ~2.5 miles in 26 minutes (10 minute 24 second miles) with a bit of cool down at the end.  I’m actually feeling much better than I thought I would after the first run, but I’m sure tomorrow morning will bring a different story!  Here is the route I ran (a bit hilly at places) this evening:

Notice the nice off-shoot I took at the east end of my run – I was hoping to cut across to the trails in the foothills – but got caught in a cul-de-sac and had to come back… at least it was downhill on the way back ;)   Thanks Claudia for motivating me to get back into better shape!  Wish me luck.
