ok, i’ve been running again. not everyday, but usually every other day. i’ve been using this nice treadmill at inbo’s house. it let’s you combine different elevations and speeds. i started out doing around 2.5 miles combined with steep elevations. recently i’ve gotten up to around 4-5 miles with elevation. my last jog was 6 miles with no elevation. it’s been feeling really good. usually the first mile or two hurt and i start to wonder if i should continue but then i fall into a groove and it seems like very little effort to complete another few miles. i love that. i’m trying to build up and get in really good shape. we’re planning on doing everest base camp within this year or the next. when i think about that kind of elevation, and a pack on my back to boot, it makes me feel like a real looser complaining about running a couple of miles! hahaha. so i’ll just have to suck it up.
