Dropped the car off at the shop and ran home. Nice night, but got colder as I got closer to home and could have used my lightweight gloves. First time running with my new orthotics and they felt pretty good. Similar to the last set, just a little softer.
AP was 9:47 which isn't too bad considering I had to walk a couple of times and I forgot my headlamp so was having to really watch the sidewalk when I couldn't run in the street. I ended up with a little blood on my shirt anyways from wiping my face and not noticing I bit my lip or it cracked or something.
The weight is coming off a little, but my legs were SO tired afterwards and remained that way the next day. My cardio needs help too since I'm hitting high 160s, low 170s and feeling like I'm maxing out at a much slower pace than I used to be running at that HR.
Lots of work to do, but now that my othotics are here, I'm heading to get new shoes and finalize my target race schedule. Probably just a few 5 or 10ks with a fall half as the focus. As much as I'd like to get a full marathon in this year, I don't think it's going to happen. It will have to be 2013. |
