And oh boy, do my legs know it :-) My legs are asking me, "Just what do you think you are doing?" So I said "shut up legs". I have strong legs and they weren't bad, but my wind...weak.
I went out for 3.2 miles and actually managed to jog fast for a half mile before I was breathing real heavy, walked for a minute, then I would just run slow and easy for 2-3 minutes and walk for just over a minute until my heart rate dropped. Rinse and repeat. It's a start, just barely.
The worst part was my belly squishing out the sides of my compression underskins hahaha. That too, shall pass, eventually. My goal for race day: 185-190 lbs. That's only about 33lbs away, so that's pretty close I guess, for now.
I will go out again tomorrow for a leg stretcher, slow jog. For now, I plan on a 5 day a week easy schedule, short ones, just to get my legs active again and wake up/shake up everything. And to test my kidney (or lack of) surgery recovery level, feels pretty good though.
