5 easy miles. 9:12 average. This was my longest run in a looong time. For whatever reason, my lower calves and bottoms of my feet were sooo tight and hurt really bad. I would've pushed the pace a little if not for that. But anyway, I felt great energy wise which I think is a sign my iron levels are getting closer to normal range. I was excited to get out and run.
My body has changed, I gained 20 lbs since July so I want to lose it. (From 130lbs to 150lbs. I'm 5'9" so it's still in healthy range, but I don't like it haha. I'm used to being pretty thin). I think it was because of the iron deficiency actually, weight gain is a symptom. Thankfully I think I'm done gaining weight, now it's just time to lose it. I'm sure that as I start running more it'll come off naturally, just like it did when I came home from my mission and started up running again.
