Today was sunny with relatively low humidity. I went running a bit after 3:30 p.m. Instead of starting from Valley Green, today I began at Northwestern Avenue, my second stop after running by the Chestnut Hill Library to return some materials.
I was surprised to find that I ran my first half mile in a little more than seven minutes. This was good: I tend to start my runs at a pace that’s too fast. Thereafter I continued my run at about an 11-or 12-minute-mile pace, finishing the entire four-mile run in 47 minutes.
The entire run was pain-free. I’m not sure why any more. I positioned my orthotics comfortably within my shoes and did some foot stretches before running. Anyway, I’m not going to quibble with what works. I’ll try the same things the next time I run.
