What a gorgeous morning to run. Mostly clear skies, 76 and not overly humid. Woke again with low blood sugar (59). So I mixed up some Shaklee Performance and downed about 10 ounces. Although I had gotten up a bit early, I dragged my feet until I was a bit late - so I decided to just do 5k this morning. But I would do it with a faster pace than before. I stretched, got my tunes goin' and set off.
I noticed as I ran that I felt a bit faster than I had in the past. Not terribly, but enough to notice. I had planned on doing more speed work today, but Brennan had taken my truck to the high school and that was part of the reason I did just the 5k. Looking back, it IS a mile to the high school and would have been a good way to knock out the first part of Coach's speed drills. Oh well....hindsight.
I did notice as I ran, my butt muscles hurt a bit and my calves hurt a bit afterward. Must be leftovers from yesterday. It'll all come together soon enough. I really need to find a scale and weigh myself. I'm also curious what my hemaglobin A1C is. I'll find out next month when I get my 4 month screening at the hospital.
I finished today's 5k in 25:25 - had a bit of walking in there {:-) Pulse right after was 174.
If I don't see any of you out running this weekend, be safe, have fun, get off your couch, don your shoes and run!
myk
