I slept in this morning because I was awake most of the night. Instead of running in the morning I ran from the American Fork Fitness Center after dropping my daughter off for her Jiujitsu class. There was a pretty stiff breeze coming out of the north which made the wind chill vary from about 28 to 20 degrees. I started off heading uphill into the wind and maybe pushed it a little too hard as I seemed to be a bit winded. After about a mile I started to settle into a good pace. At the Highland City Park I turned around and headed back to fitness center now with the wind at my back. I was flying along at a pretty good pace but was slowed by some bowel discomfort that got progressively worse (that seems to happen quite frequently when I run in the evening). All in all it was a good workout and I enjoyed a nice warm shower when I got home. A side benefit of running at that time of day is that I am less likely to overeat at dinner time. |
