Run Derneld, Run!

Started out tight and slowly loosened to a slow pace with decent form. Then the best thing happened for me: a guy ran past me like it was nothing, and he didn’t even seem to be running very fast! Whether or not it was a good idea, I tried to keep up with him. It felt great and I think it was just what I needed to be kicked into a higher gear. I was kind of achy/sore after it, but I think this “rabbit therapy” was helpful in recovery.

Went on a nice walk later with the family.

Short run on the treadmill before leaving to work. I now refuse to set my alarm earlier than 4am!

Nice jaunt at lunch time.

My first half since my pelvis twisted like a Rubik's cube!

Early treadmill before leaving for work. Went a little too fast on this run, and consequently I was pretty achy the rest of the day. I definitely need to give my muscles more time right now to recover between runs.

Short early treadmill run before driving out to work. One episode of Nadiya's Time to Eat. Not my favorite cooking show, but it's enjoyable. (2.4 miles)

A really great run at lunch time. Ran on a 0.4 mile loop that is very flat. Sped up along the way. I was pushing myself a little bit at the end, but it wasn't intense. Averaged 8:15/mile, which is amazing right now. The best part is that I'm writing this the next morning and I still feel fine!

Still feeling good! I went just far enough to hit 50 for the week.
