Early Run

Thanks to my delightful and adorable two year old I was awake at 5 this morning. I thought since I was up any ways and I had some late morning plans I would just get started. Unfortunately there wasn’t anything in my Hulu+ queue so I watched Whitney for six miles.

If you haven’t seen this show I wish I was you.

Yesterday I only ran one mile, but I also did this work out.

I’m actually kind of sore in the legs. When I am training for races I don’t work my legs because I don’t want to tire them or make them sore for my training runs or races. Right now I only have a 5K on the books so I have been working on them much more than normal. It is good to spend some time on them since they are my trouble spot.

Off to get ready for work!

Change of scenery

Today I had plenty of motivation. I was excited to run and headed straight out this morning. I went to a different part of the Montour for a change of pace. Starting out was rough. It seems as though I take longer to warm up these days.

I really enjoyed the shade on this part of the trail. It was already hot so it was a welcome relief.

I was only going to run 6, but at the turn around I felt I could go a little further.

My only issue was water. Next time I will bring more than one bottle. I think I must have sweated at least a gallon.
