4pm run with JH and Blake; 49-->47; sunny; dry cold air (made it shallow breathing for me); Asics DS Trainers; light N breeze and 26 DP
This run with some fast easy pace over the last few went by quick; I would have said we ran about 5 miles based on effort. Nice. Weird that 8-10 miles is backing off...but it is compared to the 90-100 mile weeks.
Also just glad for the opportunity to run; the health-issues for my parents seemed more managable post-run. I don't know if I run to maintain weight or chase performance goals, as much as just to de-stress. Blessed I have friends like JH and Blake to drag me around today. They had some nice "pop" in their legs for their striders.
Lifted all but legs/back
Hip work
ART & ROLL8 (also been doing cross-friction massage over ankle for last 5-6 days and it is doing wonders; started back on ROLL8 few days ago when achilles flared and wish I never had quit it. I am sure all of us that have full-time jobs can agree with me in wishing for the time that a Pro Runner has to take care of the "little"things, which really aren't so little if you allow yourself to become less in mobility/flexibility/strength)
PS Also been on am/pm 1000mg doses of Vit C from Emergence over last week. There are some published benefits other than just "ward off a cold"
