This morning I woke up with a very sore right arm. It feels like I slept on a small marble on upper front of my arm which caused a deep bruise between the muscles. It hurts a bunch if I reach back and circle my arm overhead (as if swimming). I am going to rest it and treat it with some heat. I can’t think of anything that would have caused this except for sleeping on it funny. Oh well, better to feel it now while I have months to go before the first race than later.
Today was another beautiful day and this time I protected enough time to get out and run. It felt really good, but not until I had traveled the first quarter mile. Prior to that I had a few thoughts along the lines of “Will I make it through this run?” which I am attributing to my current lack of sleep. It seems these thoughts sneak into my mind more easily if I am tired, but fortunately I have a support network that keeps me motivated and mentally tough enough to fight through the self defeating thinking. After hitting the half mile marker the run really picked up for me.
My cumulative splits were the following:
-Cumulative Time Cumulative Distance Cumulative Pace
- 0:07:12 1.02 miles 7:04 min/mile
- 0:15:39 2.09 miles 7:29 min/mile
- 0:18:07 2.39 miles 7:35 min/mile
- 0:21:27 2.77 miles 7:45 min/mile
- 0:29:01 3.74 miles 7:46 min/mile
- 0:31:38 4.09 miles 7:44 min/mile
What a great run for me. 4.09 miles in 31:38 (7:44 miles) is a great 5K distance let alone tacking on an extra mile. I am planning on repeating this run tomorrow and sneaking in one more on Friday with Flash.
