5 Mile Run: Neighborhood

This was a difficult run. Well, only because I felt tired and out of gas. I had planned on doing 6 miles, but dropped 1. I plan to do a 10.5 miler on Sunday, so between feeling tired and not wanting to risk injury, it was a easy mid-run decision. I wonder if yesterday's run with the jogging stroller introduced some DOMS and set up a situation where I simply needed more recovery time if I wanted to feel fresh and fast.

Tonight, I ran to Gorillaz, Demon Days. My wife noticed their single "Feel Good Inc". This song is catchy and has a beat good for running. Most of the others songs do not. I need to hear it while not running to form a wider opinion. Music listening while running is rated for its suitability for that context. So, I am not damning the CD in general. I am actually looking forward to listening to it while NOT running.

Data:

Distance: 5 Miles
Time: 50:04
Heart Rate: 152
Pace: 10:01
Weather: Clear skies, 72 degrees
