Today I decided to try a different approch to my run. My hamstring and back recovered fairly well from last night's run. Hardley any discomfort at all during the day today. I did no stretching during the day today or any before my run. I went out cold, at my 2.5 mile mark I was streching, and yesterday my hamstring and back would tighten up for the rest of the run. So today I kept on with the run and only did some stretching after I was done. I had more energy for the whole run and no tightening of the hamstring or back. Today I felt really good, had lots of energy in both legs and felt like I had good rythum. Yesterday my discomfort level during the run was around a 4 or 5, today much better more like a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. My toal time today was 48:46, I wanted to have one run this week below 50:00 for a 5 miler. So I feel good about today's run. Average pace was 9:32.
Mile 1. 10:11
2. 9:54
3. 9:29
4. 9:41
5. 8:38
