Just an easy 5mi. tonight. I think I started a bit too fast, because my legs got tight in the middle of the, and I felt an equivalent of a stitch in my throat - the usual symptom when I am out of shape and run too quick for my fitness level. Kind of sad to think that 8:50 pace is too quick now, but I have no one to blame but myself. I ran a minute faster than last week, but felt worse.
Goal for the week - to run every day except Wednesday when I have dinner with a client, which I have to attend for political reasons.
Total time: 44:16 (8:51 pace). |
