progressive run

December 26, 2011 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
the major impetus for running this morning instead of this afternoon was my desire to shower before having lunch with my dad. i only realized this at about 10:15, so i didn't have a ton of time to run, stretch, and shower before lunch. nevertheless, i ran. i started out kind of slow, about 6:50ish pace. The trails were a little muddy, because it rained most of the day yesterday, so for the first lap I mostly figured out the best steps to take to avoid falling. During the first lap, I felt my breakfast start to resurface, so I slowed a bit to avoid that. the feeling subsided at the beginning of lap 2. Each two mile lap was faster than the last. miles 1-3, about 7min pace, 3-5 about 6:40, 5-7 about 6:25, and the final mile on the roads back home was 5:52. it felt good to move a little quickly.
stretched out upon returning.
