Run journal 11/07
I never posted an entry for my run last Saturday so I'll include the stats for that run as well. Had a busy week (of sorts) so this was my first run this week. Felt pretty good but got some abdominal pain halfway into the run and had to throttle back. It just felt good to run again! I began to experience the rare (for me) emotion of happiness. Today just might be a good day! The stats, first for Saturday and then for today:
D: 4.45 miles / 2.96 miles
T: 43:12 / 29:13
P: 9:41/mile / 9:52/mile
C: 753 / 500
Not a great pace for today, but I have to face the fact that I've put on weight since those sub-9:30/mile paces, and in order to get back to those paces, I need to lose some weight. Reality is a mushroomn stamp!
I think I've figured out what is causing the pain in my toes: push-ups. I need to stop doing them at home without shoes. The pain is right in the joints, and that is where I just realized a lot of pressure is when doing push-ups.
More tomorrow.
