Lunch - 4 miles outside in beautiful weather - right about 70 degrees. I took a completely different route today and did about half of the run on dirt trails going around a golf course. However, lest you think that it was nice and flat, it was quite the opposite. Most of the first half was uphill, then I hit a service road of sorts heading west (and also a bit downhill) and took that until it ended, then got back on the trail. Took the trail pretty much back to Galvin parkway, where I kind of pushed the pace for the last 1/2 mile. Ended up averaging 7:15 for the run - a bit fast, but I'll take it. It felt pretty good, although I could feel it in my lungs. Legs felt fine the entire run, although my calves tightened up within the first mile and were tight for the rest of the run. Stretched out the calves after the run - they are doing okay now. Hopefully not too sore tomorrow so I can run again - last week was the "get back into running again", and this week I am hoping to be able to run every day of the week, although possibly not on Saturday. |
