Go Figure

As I did my long run for the week yesterday morning (five miles), I thought for sure my time would be slower compared to last week's five miler.

For the first two or three miles, the muscles in my legs felt like cement pillars, just really tight and rigid. I'm taking this as a sign that I need to put more time into stretching during the week. But to my surprise and delight, my assumption about my time this week was wrong. According to to my stopwatch (which I cross referenced with the song play time on my iPOD) I was almost two minutes faster than last week. It seems rigid cement pillars work for me. Go figure.

Congrats! It's so satisfying to find out I ran faster when I felt slower...it's a sign of good training - so nice job!....(and what did I say about those first two or three miles becoming a warm up?) I also wouldn't credit the protein bars and the rolling pin with your new lack of soreness. I would credit your regular training. Great work!

Thanks for the good luck with Reach the Beach. We're excited! We will each run a total of about 15 miles. Pictures to come!
