I walked to the ISU outdoor track (1.0 mile), ran 3.0 miles, and walked back home (1.0 mile). Total distance was 5.0 miles. The run felt okay, and my previously injured calf was fine. After the 2.0 mile mark, my leg muscles felt fatigued, but I am somewhat out of shape since I took a 2+ week layoff from aerobic exercising to rest my calf and keep up with school/life. The weather was chilly and breezy, and a black lab chased me during my first 1/4 lap and it took me until about 1.5-2.0 miles before my breathing and adrenaline returned to normal. These conditions made the run more difficult than it should have been. Otherwise, everything was fine. |
