Monday I had it already decided that I was running 4 miles at lunch. I left a few minutes early to get myself out the front doors of the Payne Center as close to 12:00 as possible so I could be done in enough time to shower and get back to work. I began my run at 12:07...I was already behind! I ran a great run around campus. It was just the right temperature...until I hit mile 3! That last mile was so hot...and seemed so long! I did great with my pace too...averaging 10 minutes per mile. I ran 4 miles in 40:04. I felt like I ran it hard too, which made for a great calorie burn! You can view my route here.
It also helped tremendously for me to do the stretches before I ran. Usually my hips and hamstring on the left side begin to hurt me after about a mile and a half, but this time I ran the whole thing with no pain! I definitely recommend doing these stretches everyday, even if you don't run. It opens up your hips and stretches your legs good. I look forward to my run today...even though it is very gloomy outside and looks like it may be a treadmill run! Here's to the next workout. Until then...
