Didn’t sleep well last night. In fact, I’ve not been sleeping well of late. In the last few weeks, I’ve begun experiencing restless legs. I’m not quite sure why. When I searched for information on the internet, I did find sites that gave strenuous exercise as a possible cause, but there are so many other causes that I’m not ready to concede that the problem is my running. Even if I were to rule out everything else, I really don’t want to give up running to get past this. And I don’t want to take medication either.
Consequently, today’s run was a bit more difficult than usual (but not as hard as last weekends'!). I went down to Forbidden Drive with Miriam at about 7:00 p.m. The weather was nice: scattered clouds, temperature in the high 60s or low 70s, and humidity relatively low.
I ran three miles. As usual, the first mile seemed more difficult, the last less so. I’m beginning to wonder, though, if my perceptions of the first mile are conditioned by my fear of not being able to make it to the intended end of my run.
