I was lazy in terms of record keeping yesterday, but I wanted to be sure to log my work.
I decided to take the new running shoes out for a spin, and went out for a road run.
I ended up going past this particular area near my house. There's a definite hill there. I've ridden up there before, and I hate it. It *feels* a lot worse than it looks.
Since I've been doing more treadmill lately, I decided something with a little more topography would be useful, so I decided I would tackle the hill. I definitely made it down, then up, the hill, mission accomplished. I did stop and walk a few blocks shortly after the hill. At that point, I thought I was done. After I had caught my breath, I started up again, and finished the course I had in mind. The entire run was about 30 minutes (including short stops for crossing streets and the few blocks of walking I did). Total distance according to GoogleMaps was 2.29 miles. I won't argue.
The shoes felt pretty good. My toes weren't being smashed against the front of them! I could tell they haven't been broken in yet, and I'm thinking the'll be even better once they are. So far, so good.
I'm about to head off to the gym. I want to do some sort of run/jog on the treadmill and then go swimming. I'm feeling really tired, and have a bit of sinus stuff going on. This doesn't bode well, but I'm going to take some advil, some sudafed, drink lots of water, and see what happens.
18 training days left until 5K.
Relentless forward motion.
