“It” being running five days in a row: something of an accomplishment for me, because I had my concerns as to whether I’d feel miserable on the fifth day. I didn’t. In fact, I had a pretty good run. Most importantly, I was able to shake off the discouragement I experienced yesterday.
This evening, our family got off schedule, so I found myself going down to Forbidden Drive after 7:00 p.m. That was just as well, though, because today had been another unseasonably warm one. When I ran this evening, the temperature was probably in the mid-80s, down from a high in the low 90s.
I attempted to push myself a little more, alternating a few two-minute runs with one-minute walks. I wanted to do more two-minute runs, but it became clear to me that my body wasn’t ready for that. But I think it’s time that I regularly incorporate more longer runs into my routine.
I also ran a more difficult route tonight, so that might have kept me from running more two-minute runs.
Tomorrow I’m giving my body a rest. I’ll run again Wednesday, rest Thursday, and then run Friday through next Monday.
