At the very least...
At the very least, I shaved about 5 minutes off my run time without really trying (I was going at an easy comfortable pace) and didn't feel like garbage. I'd say that's an improvement. Okay, to those of you who don't run, I'll cut the crap: It's a HUGE improvement. Exponential considering how short my runs are right now (rehab runs for the feet) 2-3 miles. The shorter the run, the harder it is to shave 1-2 minutes off, let alone 5-6. We'll see how the entire week goes!!!
And to be smart, I suppose I should just sit in one place and study my Russian... :) Oh noes!!! (It is harder for me to study without working out, these days - it would appear...)
And given my hopes as for this new tweak of nutrient events (including the iodine) it may be time to hit the yoga mat, ASAP ;) It wasn't working out the past week or two due to sleeping through the classes. Gr. But supposing my energy stays good, I can hardly wait to work it in.
I also could not find my "aircasts" for my shoes today, and seeing as I am not quite to the point of transferring my brand new orthodics into my running shoes yet - I gave it a shot without extra support on my arches. THIS went pretty well!! Phew.
My next run will likely be super short (20 minutes) to launch operation running with the orthodics. You have to train up to wearing them a full normal day of everyday activities, and then slowly ramp up with workouts. But I have finally hit the "entire day" point with them in my regular shoes, so next on deck is the running ramp up. I look forward to preventing the over-pronation! YES!!!!
In other news... a shower, lunch, Russian study, and driving to class are in order. <3
I feel invigorated by the Washington Sun. It was the most beautiful sunny run.
