I love that after less than 2 weeks of being back to running, I'm
already seeing the effects in other parts of my life. Besides the
obvious affects on how well, how far, and how fast I can run(ummmm, 3.15
miles anyone?), it's really boosting my endurance in other areas.
Before I got back to running, I liked to think I was "in shape". I mean,
I did Zumba once a week! That qualifies right? I could make it through
the entire class without passing out, and that's an hour of working out.
But I always noticed that halfway through class, during peak, I was
dragging. Huffing and puffing and my body just felt zapped of energy and
I had to push myself through it.
This past Monday was my first
class since I started running. The change was huge. I didn't find myself
looking at the clock after every song, counting down the minutes until
the class was over. Not once did I find myself lacking energy, or
huffing and puffing. It was an enjoyable workout and a nice break from
running. I love seeing the results for the time and effort I'm putting
in to training for the half marathon.
