Notes
This was a Run of extremes/Quality 0 with 100% effort. Unbelievable indeed. Pain all the way on both legs at shin bone area. CS in its glory. Basically I do not know how I was able to put the 5 miles in. If it was not for the mind games of doing a minimum of 5 miles I would not have run that far on none at all. It was the psychological element. I had to win. But it was one of the toughest 5 milers without mercy. The thing is I was hoping that things would ease down after first 2nd / 3rd mile. I was wrong! I cannot remember myself doing a 13:26.52 pace per mile ever. Extraordinary!!! One would not believe that it was just a few days ago I had run an 18 miler or a marathon 7 weeks ago. However, hoping that this will go away. Tomorrow is definitely another day and one for rest without a single doubt.
Reasons for this? Not known.
It could be the drastic change in the weather and CS?
It could be the new shoes?
It could be the lack of stretching over the last days?
Whatever the reason this came out of nowhere. A complete shock.
