Tired and worn down
My knees a little achy
So no run today OK, so I lied. Really I just changed my mind. 12:35 pm, 52°F, 28% humidity, wind 6 E, beautiful, glorious sunshine! I decided to take my pasty white hairy legs out in the sunshine wearing shorts and no socks. I was thinking of doing an easy 4 this afternoon (and I mean easy) and I thought it was a nice day for the VFFs. It was probably a little foolish since I've only run in the VFFs twice before the furthest run was 1 mile, I decided do do the whole 4 miles in the VFFs, thinking they would force me to employ a running form that was easier on my knees. It was harder on my calves, as I expected. The left one is feeling just a little tight. I'm going to go roll it. I was slow. I guess I didn't speed up my cadence enough to compensate for the drastic reduction in the length of my stride from what I do in shoes. AP: 10:08. Splits (HR in parentheses): 9:58 (132), 10:09 (142), 10:02 (140), 10:22 (139) Also, this morning I did P90X yoga with the incomparable Michelle and another friend that we're trying to recruit to our Saturday running group.
