I took it light today. I woke up a wee bit sore from busting out a run and level two yesterday, so I just did level one. Still made me sweat a little. I didn't half ass it like I could have, which made me feel good. But I didn't bust through it like I busted through level two yesterday. I think I didn't give myself enough time to wake up before I went for it.
And on another note, I must say that shredding before running is getting pretty awesome. It wakes my muscles up enough to not dread doing anything over three miles.
Run it Run it:
Today's run was six miles. Phew. I mapped out 6.03, and added a walk in before I started. I was beginning to wonder how much my walking start effected my calculated milage time, so I took care of it!
The first mile seemed a little rough, knees feeling the impact A LOT. But something hit me when I passed the 1.5 mile mark, and I just started flying through Independence. Well, I probably wasn't actually going that much faster than I usually do, but it certainly felt like it. There's a dangerous stretch on Hoffman road that has no sidewalk and very little shoulder, so I was forced to walk a good .5 miles. I felt like I needed it for a bit, but then I just got antsy to keep running.
The home stretch of 2 miles was epic. I busted through campus like "I do this everyday," (oh wait, I do). It felt really great. I even did a short pickup on my street! My hip flexors are a bit stiff, and my feet are feeling it, but all in all, it was a great run. GRRREAT!
Total distance: 6.03 miles Total time: 1:13 :D
