61°f woo hoo !
I got out the house about 9:15pm and it was great weather. Coolest temps I had run in since the Spring. It felt good. The sky was clear and starry with a bright crescent moon.
I really did not feel like doing any type of workout tonight. I finally got to sleep at 12pm. I had been awake for 20 1/2 hours. I slept for 5, then went to my brother-in-law's for a birthday party/cookout. After the kids were asleep I decided to just run very relaxed and in the end I knew I would be glad I ran as opposed to not. The first mile I could feel the ice cream cake I had had earlier churning in my stomach. It tasted great by the way. The Garmin showed I picked up the pace the last three miles without even realizing it. At 4.5 miles I decided instead of the 5 miles I planned to run I would extend it a little. In the end I had 6.2 miles.
The "feeling" in the leg was more prominent last night while working. It is still not a "pain" and I do not ever want it to be again. I was already planning on more swimming and biking this week, so I will not have to run as much. Tomorrow I will use the elliptical. Looks like a few days running then a few days of something else is what is best for the leg right now.
Run - 6.2 - 8:43, 8:41, 8:34, 8:19, 8:09, 8:14, 1:36 - 52:19 (8:26 avg.)
So far the Redskins are winning the game. I hope they don't find a way to screw it up. |
