It was a cold (for me) 37* outside this morning, so I had to drag out all my cold gear that I'd been so happy to put away 2 weeks ago. It looks like we're going to have a week of cold weather, so I'll leave the gloves and fleece out for the week.
Running felt like I was clomping along and looking like an oompa loompa. Just one of those "off" running days. I eventually got my groove, but it wasn't until the last mile or so.
Did my PT for warm up and wore the small knee band. I didn't have any pain, but I can feel some soreness. Aleve to the rescue.
Paces were 10:10, 9:08, 8:53, 8:50, and 8:32 for the last .83 miles. I had a route I wanted to run today rather than an actual distance (I just wanted over 4.5). Avg pace was 9:10. That's faster that I thought it would be. I didn't check my paces as I ran, I just ran how I was feeling. I don't feel like it's a bad run for a clompy/stompy Monday morning run.
Today is supposed to be a teacher work day & the kids are supposed to be home, BUT we are all here at the school making up a snow day. The only consolation is that it's a crummy rainy day outside, so I'm not wishing I was home taking in the beautiful spring sunshine. |
