The last time I ran this route I sprained my ankle (again!) and that ended my running for several months. Today, I had no problem. But, of course, I was in my ankle brace. Felt good. I listened to the end of a Daily Source Code by Adam Curry and a Phedippidations episode. Then, I finished the run listening to the Bare Naked Ladies, Maroon. Good music! Although I had no ankle trouble, I did encounter a little muscle fatigue in my right calf in the last mile. It is strange how as you crank up the intensity, speed or distance, you find weaknesses. For a few minutes, I suffered what felt like a right leg that was going to just let me fall by not providing the umph to kick-off the next step. I survived. I had some "trots" trouble too. Most runners probably know what I mean (think Imodium AD). Fortunately, there is a shell station very near the 1 mile mark! After this minor pit stop, all was well. Data: Distance: 9 Miles Time: 1:26:09 Heart Rate: 160 Pace: 9:34 Weather: Cloudy and humid, it had rained overnight and the windshield in the car required regular wiping on the way to Brownell, 58 degrees |
