How did I feel? Good!
Fortunately I went out early this morning--if the early morning readings of 97% humidity and clear moonlit skies are any indication, it's going to be another hot one today! This morning, I felt good while picking up my training following a planned rest day on Wednesday. My knees did, howvere, ache slightly, which served as a physical reminder to be cautoius in pushing myself too hard, too soon, and to be patient with my form.
I continue to attempt to monitor my gait and pace so as to be as efficient as possible and reduce unnecessary pounding on the pavement. While I recognize that ideally, I'll find a way to mix up the surfaces on which I'm running, my past (negative) experiences running alone on trails makes doing so while unregistered for a more formal run (i.e. "race") a little leery to simply park my car on the side of the road and head into the woods for a run.
Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
