it was hard to run 10K today. this is a another step-up week, target of 30 miles total for the week. I am really stiff and sore. my gait felt so forced and unnatural that when i started to run, it felt like i was running on stilts. but it was beautiful outside - 69 degrees, 50% humidity, very sunny. I ran in the shade as much as possible, and it was noticeably cooler. there was also a very nice breeze for most of the run. i seriously wore the minimum amount of clothing you can get away with, and still be legal. shoes, socks, running shorts (2 inch inseam, side split). i still sweat a lot while running, but i was more comfortable. as far as what other people think when they see me? not my problem, I'm training. 6 miles felt long for a midweek run, but i know it will only get longer from here on out. still managed to hold an average moving pace of 8:27 min/mile (7.1 mph). probably running a little too hard, but i tend not to watch my pace and just run by feel.
6/26/14. coffee. orange. almonds/cashews. greek meatballs/cucumber/tomato/roasted red pepper/feta on a pita, snap peas. lunchmeat/cheese. spaghetti/meatballs, salad. probably 3/4 of a pound of cherries. lots of water.
