Easy Run
First attempt at a run after Tensor Fasciae Latae strain on Wed. Fast walked & did drills prior. Had no idea of how this would fare. Usually when I'm out 3 days the first run I feel totally awkward & run it well over 9 min pace. What made things worse were the horrific conditions (67 dew pt). Started at HarrisY parking lot & ran two loops of parking lot (mi 1 - the stiff wind fr the South made the conditions tolerable), continued another mile i in parking lot after noticing a car (all windows blacked out) that suspiciously that pulled up alongside my vehicle in the parking lot & after two passes the car left (mi 2), then ventured on dirt trail where it seemed like the Caribbean as the humidity seemed sky high (mi 3 - amazing how I'm at least 20 sec/mi slower on dirt), ran another 1/4 mi on the dirt & then jumped back into the parking lot and stopped at 3.5 mi (was getting uncomfortably hot - only felt some tinges in the TFL when on the dirt towards the last 1/4 mi on the dirt, noticed that I could feel the ache in my right hamstring). After venting heat, resumed in parking lot for final 3/4 mi and focused exclusively on maintaining quick cadence (and nothing else). My goal was 3.25 mi so stopped at 4.25mi and hopefully will live to run another day (tomorrow).
