As I write this I am still warm from my 4K that I literally just ran. I'm drinking my banana, clementine, coconut, with pineapple orange juice and a splash of lime juice smoothie. I had a fantastic run today. I was really able to push myself extremely hard today. I am proud of the run I just did because I started off slow, I didn't push it my first mile, but on my return I pushed the speed.
My legs felt great, there was no pain. As I increased my speed of course my breathing became slightly more rapid, and one thing I must confess is that I am a mouth breather when I run. So I may not be the most efficient breather when I run, the "in through the nose, out through the mouth" technique makes me feel like I'm going to suffocate. Anybody else have this problem?
It was slightly chillier today, the wind is coming from the north and for the first mile I was a little cold. All throughout this winter and now into the spring the wind just has not stopped or calmed, or at least that's how it feels. Of course the forecast for Saturday is a low of 40F and the race is at 7am with a chance of light rain. I'll be bundling up a little bit for this race.
But for today, it is beautiful and I felt great, and also I am proud of the run today. Tomorrow I go for the full 5K and then it's a rest day before the race. I'm excited!
Run strong my friends!
