Everything You Didn't Want to Know About My Runs

I got out a little late today, since it was a holiday.  It was nice to sleep in a little.  It was overcast and nice outside.  I ran five miles alone.  I'm feeling a bit stronger, so that is good.  My splits were: 8:58, 9:48, 10:42 (uphill), 9:44, 9:30.  A little fast for a recovery run, but it felt good to go under 10 min/mile.

Data

Ten miles.  Stayed with Stacie for just over three.  Then I just couldn't keep up.  Most of the rest of the way she just kept getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller... I guess I ran too hard yesterday and didn't have much left today.

I really need to blog on the days that I run.  I don't even remember doing this, but I know it was 5.

Ran 10 miles with Stacie.  She got mad at me for leaving her behind on the long downhill section.

I found some KT Tape samples that I picked up at a Ragnar Relay a year or two ago and decided to try them for my right hip.  I looked up a video on YouTube for applying it for hip flexor support.  I just thought I'd give it a try.  I put it on and I could walk without pain.  The run was amazing.  It had always been hard to take the first two steps.  After I had some momentum, it didn't hurt so much.  With the tape, it wasn't a problem at all.  I don't get it, but it works.

Another 2-day marathon.  Got up early and ran at a little after 5 am.  We kept getting harassed by newspaper deliverers.  We just couldn't shake the guy in our neighborhood and then when we got towards the end of Dimple Dell Road, we picked up another one.

Saw a coyote at the Christmas tree farm on Dimple Dell.

I'm feeling a little stronger every week.  This twenty was much better than the last, but it was still hard.
