Wasted Continuum

Man, it was frickin’ foggy tonight. It was a little chilly, but I made it through 5+K. I think if Thursday morning isn’t way colder than today, I’ll be fine. I’m going to rest for the next two days.

After running cables this morning at the office, I decided to do a 5K by myself. I think my pace is completely off. Looking at my chart I can clearly see that I did not have a very steady pace. I guess it is easier to run with someone. At least it’s easier to run with someone who has a steady pace. I was nowhere near my fastest. I’m a little disappointed.

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.
