A nice, but frigid, run to help deal with Monday and stress.  Ahhhhhhh.  I feel better.  Now if I could just get someone to go paint at my brother's for me tonight...

Maybe when I'm done painting I'll hit the treadmill for another 45 minutes.

Maybe.

I have been reading Born To Run and I had big plans for tonight's run.  I was going to run and enjoy myself, despite the fact that it would be on the treadmill.  I was going to connect with the true runner within me.  I was going to get lost in the miles.  I was seriously going to kick some treadmill butt!  1.59 miles in I ran out of gas. I suck.

C-R-A-P!

I'm trying to talk myself into giving it another go in about an hour, but it'll be 10:30 by then.  Maybe tomorrow morning before work, but that will make a run at work difficult.  I don't know what to do.  Somebody make the decision for me--I can't do it on my own tonight.

What a difference 15 hours makes.

7.18 miles / 0:57:47 / 8:03 A.P. / Provo River Trail

My only plan with today's run was to run with improved form--shoulders back and hips forward--not the slogging I've done for, like, forever.  I took shorter strides and tried to ensure my foot strike occured underneath me rather than out in front, which, I hope, created more of a fore/mid-foot strike rather than the heel strike I've grown accustomed to.  Without any perceived increase in effort I seem to have knocked off 15 seconds (average) per mile from Monday's PRT run.

FYI: Unskinny Bop by Poison has an awesome rhythm/beat that made the shorter strides easier.

I so wanted to cut out of work early today and go run some trails.  Best I could manage was the treadmill tonight.  Oh well. 

 Again, I wanted to maintain better posture throughout the run--seemed more difficult to monitor and keep while on the treadmill.  Maybe it's just my perception.

My knees are bugging me just a teeny bit, but nothing that is overly concerning at this point.
