Training Run 9-8-07

Tonight was just one of those nights when nothing about the run felt good. I don't mean that I was injured or that I shouldn't have run, although I did have a down day yesterday with the cold...at least it was a rest day anyway. Felt better overall today, but I think the fact that I wasn't up to eating yesterday meant that I ate too much today, at least too much for a training day.

When I went out to run it was nice and cool, after quite a thunderstorm earlier this evening...we should probably go out and pick up sticks tomorrow. I kept a moderate pace, but the whole run just felt hard...like 80-90 percent effort when that pace should have been 60-70 percent effort. Still, I guess it paid off...I ran 2 1/2 miles in 34:13. A little over a 13 1/2 minute mile pace...slower than Thursday's run but probably more sustainable for me at this point.

Had a chocolate meal replacement shake when I got in, put the baby back to bed...now it's spicy ramen noodles for me. =)
