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.
