Today I ran for the first time since Friday. It was my normal distance of 5K, beautiful sunny day in the mid 50s. The wind was pretty strong and while climbing the small hill that I run, a headwind blew in very strong. But that was the height of my struggles with today's run and if that is all that's wrong with a run...I'll take it.
My calves are slightly screaming...but that's what happens when you don't run for a little while. They will be shouting in extreme pain when I take a rolling pin to them later. I hope to start increasing my distance soon maybe next week I will bump it up a kilometer. Eventually I WILL sign up for another half-marathon. The last time I ran one my goal was to come in at 2:30 and I actually beat that by two minutes! If I had my wish it would be to come in at 2hrs flat but I'll settle for 2:15.
Tomorrow will be a workout day as far as cross-training. If any runners out there are reading this and you have some workouts that are really crucial to your workout regimen please comment below, I would love new workouts.
Well, that's really all. No earth-shattering records or crazy stories to tell. That was my run. But in all honesty the only crazy stories I like to tell about my running experiences are the ones with the scenery. Scenery makes all the difference sometimes, like the time I ran not 50 feet away from a HUGE windmill on an island somewhere in Vienna. Now that was pretty cool. Other than that most crazy stories are sometimes not so good and those are the ones I like to steer clear of! Let's keep with the cool stories.
Hope you ran well today!
