AM -Got up a little early to get 5 miles in before work. 5 miles turned into 3.75 as soon as I realized that my body was still recovering from the 18 on Saturday. The good news is I had no aches or pains, just felt tight and the body wanted to go slow. Felt pretty good by the end of the run and will get out this afternoon for another 8 or so.
PM -Beautiful run this afternoon in the trails above pioneer park (the big "DIXIE" on the red hill). It was partly sunny, a little warm starting out, but was absolutely beautiful. That area has a LOT of loose sand and I thought with the rain it would be a little more firm and a bit better for running. It was barely better than being dry but still had a great time. Felt great this afternoon. No more tightness. About mile 7 after I hit the road downhill from the DIXIE to 1000 E my knees began to hurt a bit but were okay after I slowed it down a bit. |
