After being a bit under the weather for a while, I got out this morning for my three mile run. I had wanted to do it yesterday, but my head still felt funny. It's not 100% now, but it's getting better. It's starting to feel like a sinus headache, which is strange.
Anyway, I decided to dress more warmly to simulate the likely temperature I will be running at in San Antonio. However, my plans were foiled. It turned out to be cold enough to actually need the warmer clothes.
I ran to a 162bpm podcast this morning, taking it up 2 bpm. I ran 3.1 miles (5km) in around 33 minutes. Not bad for me. In an actual race, I'd probably run faster, so training at a pace that is around what I've raced at is a good feeling. I don't know when my next 5k will be, but maybe I'll be able to break 30 minutes in my lifetime. My footstrike was still mostly midfoot. I did notice a tendency to try to lengthen my stride and hit with the heel every now and then. Maybe I was getting tired. I think I can still take it up another few bpm. I'll probably drop back to 160bpm for my long run on Sunday, though.
