A every so slightly faster run.
5:13 am, 36°F, 42% humidity, winds calm.
I ran with Sam again this morning. I took him to a running store and they did the gait analysis and everything and I bought him new shoes on Saturday. But he still had knee pain when we ran this morning. After the run and after his shower, I put KT tape on his knees. We'll see if that helps. He wore shorts to school (crazy teenage boy) and I noticed that he pulled his shorts down a little lower than usual to hide the bright green tape on his knees. As he got out of the car for seminar this morning, I told him to pull up his pants, but I doubt that he did.
We ran just a little bit faster today than we did last week. At least we didn't have any mile slower than 11:00 today. I think Sam is getting a little tired of my slow pace. He left me with a little less than 1/4 mile today and ran home ahead of me.
Despite our slow pace, it was not easy for me. I was breathing in 2 breaths and out 1 the whole time, which shows that I was working hard. I am just so fat and out of shape. I've got to get my diet under control somehow.
I just signed both of us up for the Turkey Day 5K. Last year I beat Sam on a Thanksgiving Day 5K by several minutes. He will undoubtedly beat me this year.
AP: 10:34. Splits: 10:43, 10:44, 10:18, 0.04 @ 9:41. (I included that 0.04 at the end just to show that I sped up a little at the end. Also, that last bit is uphill.) |
