Running again

Yesterday evening the field and gym opened for recreation ... finally.


With excitement built up for a potential pick-up soccer match, I was a little disappointed when only six or seven players showed up.

Not one to allow the circumstances get me down, I decided to do intervals around the track. I was shooting for seven intervals of one minute hard running followed by two minutes of jogging all back-to-back.

Boy, all this time without recreation has killed my stamina. I was able to get in three intervals before struggling to suck wind. After about five minutes of walking I picked up again. After only two more intervals I conceded defeat and walked for the rest of the hour.

Hopefully I can regain the endurance I lost. It will only come with more frequent recreation, though, and I have no control over that.
