It's Monday again, and after a rest weekend I am excited to be back at my (re)training! I ran my second bout of 3K today, and this one was a little tougher than before. A part of me thinks that at this level two days off is a bit much, but I don't know, if you are an expert in this field (or just someone who knows leaps and bounds more than me please assist!). Is two days after five days of running short distances too much?
Here's why I ask; I felt really heavy today like my feet were just being thrown back down to the ground when on any other normal day my feet don't feel like dead weight. It's not like I calorie-d out this weekend, or just sat on the couch dissolving my muscles. Of course the weather was relentless today and could have had something to do with it, heavier rain, less wind, colder temps about 45F. So I got a little shower while I ran. I didn't have any pain, I was just heavy...maybe it was just a bad run day.
It's always funny when you live in a place where people don't get out and run or anything like that on a gorgeous day, much less a rainy and cold one. A person I know drove up beside me as I was running in my full on running clothes; tights with reflective pattern, running shoes, rain resistant jacket, hat, and ear buds. Still she asks out of the true and well-intentions of her heart "Do I need to give you a ride home? Are you okay?" It's odd to see anyone around here doing something so physically exerting on a nasty day like today. It was just funny because by all the context clues I was obviously okay and intentionally doing this on purpose, but still, it was nice of her to have concern.
Most of the rest of the week is supposed to be exactly the way Spring lives in my mind; sunny and in the 70F's. So I am excited to carry out the rest of the week hopefully running and feeling stronger. I've stretched and rolled my muscles so hopefully any tightness will loosen up. Here's to a whole new week with lots of possibility!
Run renewed my friends!
