Wasted Continuum

Due to human error, I ended my Nike+ run at my halfway point of 2.5K. I had to start a new run to get stats for the second half of the 5K. I ran on Grand Avenue again. It was way sunnier today.

A pretty slow run. I did run into Jessie during it. Other than that, it was a normal run. Grand Avenue is definitely more hilly than Summit. I kind of like that. It really works my legs harder.

For some reason or another, Mother Nature decided that it should be fricking cold today. It rained most of the afternoon and was 46 degrees when I got off work. I decided to run anyway. I definitely have ran in much wetter and colder situations. Today was not that bad. I ran a full 5K and I took my time. I don’t think I should push my time too much until I’m back on a regular run schedule. I hope that it’s this week. At least I’m going to try to stick to my schedule this week.

This was my run from Friday. My legs were extremely sore from Wednesday when I was working at the trade show at Moscone Center. I effectively did power squats for eight and a half hours that day because all of the Mac Minis were in low cabinets. So my legs were stiff and sore before I even started running. They were burning the whole time that I ran. It was painful and it rained a little bit in the middle of my run. I did, however, push myself to run the whole 5K.

Today I decided to run a different route. I usually run along the river on Shepard Road. Today, I drove down to Summit and Dale for my run. It’s much livelier there, a lot of other runners and bikers. I ran just over 5K today without any issues. I had a small case of heartburn from the massive plate of spicy Thai noodle dish I had for lunch. I really need to plan my lunches better on my running days. I eat late lunches and if it’s a big meal, it’s still sitting in my stomach when I go running right after work.

Only made it 3.03 miles today. Just felt slow today. I may have burned out too fast.
