Started running again
Started running again this morning. Ran 3 miles in 27:33 min, which is a record for me. I usually take 29:30 min. Ran mile 1 in just 8:50 min. I usually take 9:20 min for my first mile. However, I ran on a faster 3 mile pace today---not the usual 5 mile pace. My final pulse: 160 bpm.
(All these times can't compare to how I used to run in junior high or high school. I used to take 7:20 for a mile then. My fastest mile as a teen was between 6 and 7 minutes.)
Unfortunately, my right knee HURT the whole way, again. I couldn't go full speed. After the first lap, the pain started. Today, I didn't care and finished my 3 miles anyway. Sigh. Can't heal as fast as I want.
I usually run on a junior high track. Started later than usual today, and some of the 12 and 13-year-olds came out for gym class and ran with me. I actually I could run faster and with better form than some of those kids! Haha...
