Cool, Crisp Morning
June 7, 2010
Distance: 4 miles.
Successes: Happy to run in cool weather after all this humidity. Feeling much more capable of running 4 miles.
This morning was glorious - I got to run in 58 degree weather! It makes a huge difference for me; truth be told, I love running in 50-something degree temperatures. I feel like I do some of my best running work when it’s cool like this.
My running pants are fitting looser these days - score!
I will admit, when I started my run, I felt weak. I think the first half mile or so is just going to feel wonky, judging from this current training schedule and from past training periods. I wish it weren’t so, but it is. I have to keep reminding myself, though, that I haven’t even been at this for 2 months, so some adjustment is understandable.
I’ll be back doing 3 mile runs for the next two training days, and then back to a 4 mile fartlek on Saturday. Running hills is what I’m looking forward to most on Saturday.
Next run: Tuesday, 3 miles.
Onward!
