I have decided that I want to start working on running three miles every day until the 5K next weekend. I don't usually go so far on a work day, but since it is my last work day I decided to get up a little earlier and go a little farther and do a little better. Not too bad, since I only had my students for 1 1/2 hours today! I woke up a few times in the night, probably anxious about getting up even earlier and that I would miss my alarm.
Time/Weather:
At 05:29 I was out the door (only three minutes before the official sunrise time for today). It was 69ºF and lovely out. I didn't feel a breeze this morning, it would have been nice. No clouds and a clear sky made for a lovely morning to run.
What Worked:
All was in order this morning, and I made a few little adjustments to my route this morning to make sure that I had a full 3 miles. I didn't take as long of a walking break in the middle when switching from one running program to the next and I think that helped keep me on task. It was a little uncomfortable running with my glasses fogging up from sweaty steam, but taking off my hat solved that problem!
What Didn't Work:
This morning I was a little more sore than I have been since I started running, but after being at work for a few hours it doesn't seem so bad. Guess I am looking forward to another Epsom Salt bath after the gym this afternoon! I carried my hat for a while and that was a little awkward, but it helped my sunglasses clear up.
Motivation:
I did have some leg pain today, and pushed my self a little more to hurry up and get home. I'd already turned around and was on my way back home so I would have made it there a little faster. Hopefully this soreness doesn't last long.
