I wound up going out to lunch with some former coworkers today. Originally I figured doing so would mean not running, but somewhere in the back of my head I kept saying, “or you could run when you get back.” And that’s what I did. Let me just say eating a burger and fries right before running is not the best choice. I felt it bouncing around inside as I tried to run. I don’t recommend it.<\/p>\n
I ran slower right from the start today. I was basically coasting through the first mile or two. Then I walked up the hill at Sycamore, even though I think I could have stayed running. I figured if I did run up that hill that I would have to take a break when I got to the top and that would suck. But I think I’m to the point where I can run the whole loop. Now I just need to prove it.<\/p>\n
After walking a little bit, I ran the rest of the way home. The last mile actually felt pretty good. Lunch had stopped bothering me and my legs and breathing were in rhythm, which isn’t always the case at the end of the loop.<\/p>\n
