I am psyched; I was able to jog 3.5 miles today  Not fast, but good for me. I walked 0.25 miles at the beginning and end. I have to say walking the last 0.25 miles was the hardest! It seems power walking alternated with pilates has kept me in pretty good shape for jogging. Though I know I will still be sore from jogging tomorrow; I think some different muscles are used or muscles are used harder. You cannot beat that runner's high though!
The downside today was that it was 65F with 99% humidity after all that rain yesterday. OMG, that was a hot run! Usually 65F with a breeze and low humidity isn't bad but with that high humidity, it is not at all ideal jogging or even walking weather! The other bad thing was that I forgot to charge my headphones, so I had to use earbuds this morning. I hate using earbuds because I think I have small ears or something; the earbuds never stay in and constantly fall out, especially when I'm jogging. Plus, the headphones keep my hair out of my eyes while running. I guess my hair has gotten long enough again that I need to wear a headband or ponytail; I used to have a pixie haircut
