Week 9: Mid-Week Run

I missed yesterday's run due to a 30 degree temperature swing. I need to get a gym membership... Today I went a little longer than scheduled. I did 4x5minute intervals and then a 20 minute run to finish up. Afterwards, I stretched, drank down a joint health strawberry smoothie with protein and headed off to karoke night at celebration church.

The run felt good. It was cold outside. I was in long shorts with a tshirt, long sleeve tshirt, and a running vest I got from SC08. Talk about a key pickup. That vest kept me toasty the entire time. I can't remember the last time I ran in weather like that and didn't feel my lungs freezing midway through. I'm definitely going to keep wearing that on cold days like today.

During intervals 2 and 4 I felt really strong. During intervals 1 and 3 I was loosening up. The long run ended too quickly. I could have run for another 2-3 miles no problem. That being said, my lower back is a bit stiff and I've been stretching throughout the evening. I'll be fine tomorrow, but for now I'm sore. It was a great day. It was a great run. God's blessing keep finding Shell and I everywhere we go. This is our platinum year. giddy-up.
