Usually after working the 1st Midnight I do not feel like running at all. But I slept in longer than normal today and it helped me gain and extra 1.5 hours of sleep. Then I took my daughter to her dance class. After getting home and everyone going to bed I decided to go out. For the 1st time in a long time my legs felt great. My house in on top of small hill. I usually warm up by running down it about .1 miles and then walking up the other side which is another .1 mile. Something about starting a run uphill has always bothered me. Anyway, I could tell right away on my mini warm up the legs had a bounce and no signs of any pains. The left leg twinged from time to time in the later miles, but other than that it was a good run. I also felt rushed towards the end as well. I had to come home and shower then get to work.
