Get Running II

I never did run this weekend. I did get to spend some quality time with the family and friends. I could have squeezed in a run, but things turned out alright. I did spend some time in my dad's massage chair trying to get this twinge out of my back. It's been the excuse that I've used to not run for a couple of days recently. Now it's time to run.

This evening I made of point of pushing myself to go faster in the group run, an 8:40 pace for a little over 4 miles. I feel like that shouldn't be much of a stretch for me, but I was definitely tired by the end of it.

Toward the end of the run, Rick and I were running together and he pointed out that I take really short strides. So I spent the last mile thinking, lift knees higher, hold abs in. Abs, stride, Abs, stride. I may have to pick one thing to focus on at a time.

I'll sleep good tonight and run to work tomorrow.
so tired....zzzzzzzzzz
