I only walked once today. I ran the first 2 miles without switching from running to walking. That’s the longest I’ve gone without switching, so I was happy. I kept telling myself that I may run the whole thing without ever switching to walking, but I finally did when I got to the last big hill around the 2 mile marker. I was pretty beat-up by the time I gave up and switched to walking, so when I switched back to running at the top of the hill, it was very slow. In fact, it’s pretty generous to even call it running; it was more shuffling than running. But it wasn’t walking, and that was important.<\/p>\n
I finished in 35:56, which is slower than yesterday’s “good” run, but still faster than any other run I’ve done this year. So I’m quite happy with the time.<\/p>\n
The thing I’m not as happy about is my legs. When I finished running, they were in pain. They didn’t hurt while I was running, not even the last few steps of the run, but as soon as I stopped running, they hurt. I stretched out a bit and felt a lot better, but I was really hoping they would feel as good as they did yesterday. Oh well. I probably won’t run tomorrow, so they should have a chance to recover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
