Woke up with the plan to run easy for 30 minutes outdoors and then hop on my bike, which is set up on a trainer, and ride indoors for 30 minutes. Plans changed once I got out the door and saw the beautiful sunrise in its vibrant oranges, reds and pinks on the horizon and realized the temperatures were pretty much ideal for running. This must have been what body was craving and missing for so long. My easy run became less of a struggle and much more enjoyable and I think my pace was faster, thanks to all those factors.
In days past, my legs could only tolerate running ever other day. I had run the relay (7 miles) on Sunday, ran for 30 minutes last night (and negative split) and then logged 62 minutes this morning! It felt so good to run. I haven't said that in a really, really long time! Sure, my right calf is tight and my shins are a bit sore but its not like the injured feeling I have been experiencing on and off for the last 2+ years.
Now the mission is to stay injury free and make good of the offers I have put out there to friends to stick to my guns and train with them!
Tonight. Barthel Farms visit to grab some of the best apples around! Yummy!
