Decided to pop out during my lunch hour to run an easy couple of miles. Ended up running eight, and despite aggravating a blister from yesterday’s Race for Literacy 10 Miler, I felt surprisingly good.
Splits: 8:10 7:36 7:28 7:17 7:06 7:18 7:14 7:18
I’ve noticed it takes a while for me to get into a run lately. The first couple of miles are always a bit of a struggle, but once I’ve loosened up, everything is fine. I guess I’m just getting old….
Today was also my first real training run since the stress fracture where I haven’t run exclusively on grass. This could be a contributing factor to the blister, but it’s possibly shoe related too. Probably time to retire my Adidas Supernova Glides that have served me well for just over 410 miles….
Wow, You did an amazing run! It’s quite a mile. I couldn’t do it myself. You serve as my inspiration in this running thing. Keep it up!
