Today was not my best run. My lungs were giving me trouble for the first time since I started running in August. I think it may have been all the sheet rock powder I ingested yesterday. At least I was still able to do 5K. I need to get back to running 4-5 times a week. I did pick up some winter running gear today at Dick’s. They worked amazingly well. I just need some gloves when it gets colder.

I ran 7 miles yesterday. Today, I ran 5.53 miles at a much better pace. It felt really good to run longer distances. My left leg held up without a problem. It was a little stiff yesterday at the end of the run, but I stretched out thoroughly. I will definitely rock the Turkey Day 5K. After my run, I had a nice bowl of bun bo hue with a “fresh” young coconut to drink. If that wasn’t enough, I went home and did free weights while watching the 2004 Crossroads Festival on DVD.

I haven’t ran in over a week since I’ve been getting off work late everyday. For some unknown reason, I thought it would be a good idea to run 6 miles instead of my usual 5K. My lungs were great. No issues there at all. On the bad, my left leg tightened up. I ended up running 4 miles, then stretching for a minute and then running another 2 miles. My leg is still hurting, but I’ve been stretching it every couple of hours. Hopefully, I can run again Tuesday if I get off at a decent time. Even with the leg problem, I’m happy with my performance today. I’m going to rock that Turkey Day 5K.
