Today was a weird day. The moon was a beautiful sliver with one of the planets nearby. I wanted to take a picture, but I knew my phone-cam would not do a good job. I really didn't want to run, and when I got started I realized why. My arms and chest were sooo00 sore from yesterday's workout that running was painful! But, I persevered and continued. Then, about 10 minutes into the run, mother nature started calling. I hate that!!! So, I took a route to head towards home. By the time I got there, she had quieted down. I really wanted to stop, but I told myself I'd run to the end of the block and if mother nature started calling again, I would turn around. The end of the block is actually two blocks away, about 0.25 miles. I made it to the end and back without any problems.
I didn't listen to a Podrunner podcast today, since I won't have that luxury on the race course for the 10k. I tried to focus on a quicker foot turnover, since my cadence is usually slower without the music. In turn, I run slower! So, I managed to average a 10:50 pace, which is good for me! The total time was around 23 minutes for about 2.1 miles.
No problem with the knee. I had worried that the Split Squats yesterday would give me problems.
