Kohler's loop on a cold, clear Spring morning. The clouds and rain of the last couple of days moved out and left everything smelling fresh and invigorating. I was surprised to find that I was a little bit stiff starting out and that my left ankle was a little sore during the middle part of the run. Whenever I get that soreness on the top of my ankle, it's usually followed later by knee soreness, calf cramping or other ailments -- usually in the other leg! The soreness might be a result of having run on the treadmill on Wednesday. I'll have to try further experiments to find out. Average pace was 8:17.
Ran again this evening when I got home. Highland Glen loop at easy pace, but steady pace. Hip flexor was sore for the first half mile or so and my legs felt a bit heavy, but felt OK the farther I went (except for a touch of bowel distress the last half mile or so). |
