Today, yesterday and Wednesday (three days in a row, I think!) Polly Pup & I were on the bike path. So many other folks were enjoying the path too. It's the place to be if you're an Athens exerciser. People walk dogs, ride bikes, walk with strollers, walk holding hands and sometimes skate board or rollerblade. The podcast in my ears today and on Wednesday was "Podcasts for Running: Couch to 5K." It's a very chill mix of techno-dance club beats with podcaster Robert letting you know when to walk/run for 90 seconds, 3 minutes, or 5 minutes. The "Couch to 5K" program was something Robert started on his 43 birthday.
If I had my way, I'd just run slowly for 45 min, however, Polly Pup can't take it. So, a walk/run mix is what I've gotta do when I go with her. (I'd feel so bad not going w/ her! Poor thing needs cardio too!) Also, she doesn't like running while on a leash so I unleash her & we run in the grass by the river along the bikepath so we avoid the bikes...
I need a human runner companion! Anne sometimes runs with me but I may just need to look into finding a running club. There is an OU one, but...there's gotta be youngsters/oldsters my age! This is the challenge of Athens.
Speaking of beautiful Athens...our Cherry trees are in bloom & so pretty! Look:
That view is beautiful!! I would run a muk of those trails if I could look at those cherry trees the whole time. I went for a run last night in the beautiful weather and it was fantastic. Warm weather is so nice for running :)
