Went out for a 5 mile run today. After I started I decided I would run 2 miles comfortably, 1 mile fast, then the last 2 easy. I just wanted to see what kind of pace I could run when I pushed it. It felt good to open up my stride and get my legs moving a little faster. But I could tell towards the end of it I could not have held the pace for much longer. I used the 4th mile to recover.
The leg is aching a little. It is something I would not have given any thought too usually if it was not for the earlier injury.
Run - 5 miles - 8:35, 8:17, 7:23, 8:34, 8:11 - 41:01 (8:12 avg.)
My daughter just started riding her bike without training wheels last weekend. She is 7 and started to learn a little later than some, but she has progressed rapidly in the last 8 days. Tonight she rode along with me for about .8 miles. She was nervous on her first downhill and put her feet down a couple of times. Struggled up her first hill a little also. But on the way home she handled those hills hills perfectly. She even got to show off a little by pulling away from me to a boy in the neighborhood who is in her class.
And finally for anyone who is interested or may not know the animated dvd movie release of Superman v. Doomsday hits store shelves on 9/18. This is a movie based on the book, "The Death Of Superman" which was published in the 1990's. I hope it is as good as the book was.
