So last night I was going to run but the hype and craze of the "first day of School" left me with very little time come night fall and worse, no energy. So, I decided to just do some stretching and some push ups and sit ups at home instead. It is amazing how limber I used to be (once upon a time when I was younger and a gymnast) and how Un-limber I am now (note to self: stretch more often). My new anology with life is that whatever you used to have (Pre-children) you give to your children (Brain cells, limberness, energy, metabolism, etc.) So, the sad part is that I AM SOAR today. That is pretty sad that 10 minutes of push ups malde me soar (note to self: do more strength training).
So, I decided NO excuses tonight and left my house at 9:50pm for a quick 3 mile jaunt.
1st Mile, 8:12, 2nd mile 8:05 3rd mile 8:03. Average pace 8:07
I felt pretty good but it was a little hot tonight. I hope that I am feeling primed and ready to run my best come Saturday (Hobble Creek). Good Night~ |
