Running Commentary

10k April 26 2005

So I ran by myself last night. Lately I’ve enjoyed the solitude and the luxury of not having to make conversation. And last nights run was great for that. I had a lots of time to think…and even though during the first 2k I told myself I could go home after one more loop, I didn’t. Happens everytime I run. 5k or 20k. The first 2k SUCK and I hate them. ANYWAY. My run last night was so odd! I can’t say it was a bad run cause it wasn’t. It was good run…just weird. I felt totally off. My form felt squirrely. My legs felt like they were spaghetti but not tired or lead like. My arms felt completely out of place and I couldn’t figure out what to do with them. My water belt was totally in the way. The zipper on my jacket was to heavy and was pulling it too much to one side after I tied it around my waist. Most of this lastest for the whole run. So weird! Then I got home and I forgot to stretch my left hamstring. I stretched my right one just fine and dandy…so today I feel a little lopsided. Kinda tight on the left.

Today is Chris’s birthday…he’s 39. Tuesday also happens to be my busiest day of the week. WW weigh in (yes I’m starting that again…after gaining a couple of stress pounds in the past week…gotta nip that in the bud) and then stained glass until 9:30pm. I can’t even have dinner with them tonight. So we are postponing it till tomorrow. Which is good cause I forgot to get him a present. oops.
