Notes
Today I joined the 50s Club so I gave a present to myself by running a 10:20, 9:26, 8:34 with 8.05 last mile. After being away from the miles and consistent running for approx. 11 weeks I felt it was not too bad at all. CS is with me now but the problem with right leg has subsided or almost disapeared. So, strange indeed. Anyway during first mile up hill there was tightness on both lower legs and slight gravity, then felt that was eased down a bit as it does when body warms up so I was able to push a bit harder with 3rd mile feeling pretty comfortable and hopeful for a faster finish. I miss so much the sense of freedom by flying so when approached the 4th mile point I went for it. After all this was my Birthday and had to enjoy it. I LOVED THE FEELING ONCE AGAIN. I had to put all my effort for this last mile. It is really amazing how quickly one loses fitness in 10 to 12 weeks away from running. In terms of effort I felt I was running 7 min mile but Garmin never lies as Franc says. I was delighted and this run raised my hopes again for towards another beginning. This made me feel as I had a Happy Birthday and a good start for the day's celebrations. This run followed my 14 mile cycle with Evgenia.
