running

Easy no watch. Needed a slower one after last week and yesterday. Feeling good today. Nothing hurts. Will keep slowly increasing the miles.

Legs felt really bad at the start. Combination of too fast run last week, mud run on sat and 12 miles on Sunday. Was very discouraged at the start. Too many things felt bad - feet, Achilles, hamstring. It all slowly loosened up and it turned out to be a good run. Last 3 under 9.

Same loop as yesterday. Slow start only achilles hurt. Last mile 8:08. Not as much faster running as I was hoping for this week. But staying injury free is way better than a couple of faster runs. Have trusted how the body feels and it's kept me going for a long time.

Raining out this morning. I was a total wimp and didn't want to get wet. So I ran on the treadmill instead. 6 miles. It is so boring on the treadmill so I just make stuff up as I go. I felt pretty good again but know that the 3 7:50's I did last week were too fast. So started at 9 min miles and dropped the pace a little every mile. Last half at 7:50. Good and challenging run but not so much that I will feel it tomorrow.

Annoyed that my watch ran out mid run. It's not charging right. Anyhow shooting for 9 min miles. First 6 8:45 average. Not sure about last 6. Think I slowed down on the last 2.
