I'm supposed to run on Mondays and cross-train on Tuesdays. Yesterday I walked for 30 minutes with my friend Marla at lunch. I had planned to run when I got home, but I had an awful headache. Consequently, I decided that the 30 minute walk would be this week's "cross-training" (ok, so I cheated just a little) and I would do an actual run today.
I was a little hesitant about today's run. It was finally hot enough out that I turned the air conditioning on in our house. It's been quite some time since I ran outside when it was hot, so I wasn't sure how I was going to do. I waited until about 6:30, at which time it was about 84 degrees I think. I was pleasantly surprised--the heat didn't get to me at all. It turned out to be a nice run. My shins didn't bother me, which is great--this is the first time in weeks that my right shin hasn't acted up during a run. There was a gentle breeze the whole time I was out. I saw lots of people from the subdivision. I have no idea how far I ran, since a) my pedometer is calibrated for walking and b) I left it at work anyway. I was out for 30 minutes, that I know.
When I got back I stretched and rehydrated. After maybe 15 minutes we sat down to dinner--Tuscan Lamb--yum! Tomorrow is a track workout in Urbana. It's going to be harder than last week's run, so I'm not sure what to expect. I've heard the track runs get brutal, we'll see.
