Mission Bay loop from Runner's bathrm with Sally and RIchard. started 6:50a, ended 72min later. Though the weather was cold at the start (warmed a little, but still remained chilly enough that I could see steam coming off my face!), I felt much better during this run than on Sat. Appears I do better when it's not too warm and when the sun isn't out. Aches in hip and knees and foot began and remained through the run, but attacked the knots and tight muscles in my quads and calves with the plastic stick thingie for 10 min after the run, and was OK the rest of the day. Also amazing how much easier the run is on Sun, throughout the entire run, even though my per mile pace isn't any different than the Sat LR. Realized last week that I mindlessly overeat after long runs, so this weekend, counted calories. Felt unnatural, but I know it takes awhile to form new habits. |
