Ran my regular 5 mile loop on Wednesday and at the risk of sounding like a filthy hippie, which may be too late, I made an "intention" of running faster (to myself). I decided to run the loop backwards. I went down Hell Hill first and hit the long, gradual, uphill on the back 1/2 of the run. I now know that the Staten Island Half will be hilly so I want to start running as many hills as I can whilst I train.
I ran with an "intention". I didn't scream at my internal self to "Push!". I just let the intention hang there like a scent and found myself running a little faster than usual. I slowed down if it got too hard, but that happened less often than I expected. It was a good, faster, run.
About a mile before I was done I felt a very sharp, quick, sensation in my knee. It hurt a lot, but I managed to slow down and run through it. My knee still hurts a little today, but it doesn't feel like an emergency. I will keep an eye on it though. Especially with my long run coming up on Sunday.
I have managed to get my salad count up, but my weight is still constant at 210. I am going to have to start doing some sort of workout routine. GODAMN IT!!!! Stupid science. I just want to get skinny. Blarg.
All told I ran 5 miles at a 9:47 pace which is 40 seconds faster than my last run. My first run that was a sub 10 minute pace. Slow and steady my friends. Thats me in a nutshell. Or a Tortoise shell.....
wacka wack wacka
