Notes
29 deg (10mph N/NE wind) - cold
Easy Run
Cold, layered, left running gloves up north so had to use my big wool socks for my hands. Pain in my right upper quad felt worse fr weakness in Psoas & TFL (& concerned). When I stopped at 5.7 mi to stretch & viewed split I was really concerned that this injury had worsened a lot more than expected since that split slow & I felt like I was finishing strong (so I was afraid this was another 9:30 pace debacle embarrassment) Ran expanding loops of Phillips Pl parking lot - up by hotel & PF Chang & back then out to Sharon & back (mi 1 - felt cold & stiff, feet were cold, muscles did not feel springy, felt slow), down Sharon right into lower entrance looped around lot on apartments on other side & back around expanding to one loop of cinema lot (mi 2 - warmed up, feet better but this felt the same as mi 2), back up/around hotel down Sharon right into far entrance looped around parking lot looped twice around cinema lot & then around & by cinema down to farthest exit (mi 3 - felt exactly like mi 1-2), up Fairview back into Phillips Pl up/around hotel back down & into cinema lot 3 loops (mi 4 - felt exactly like mi 1-3 & was not pushing this, felt steady), ran back down & 4 loops around cinema parking lot & out (mi 5 - this felt exactly the same as mi 1-4 which is disconcerting since I slowed significantly & no idea why), ran up/around hotel & looped back to cinema (mi 5-5.7 - as stated earlier, felt strong but pace was slow). Stretched & then ran 3 loops around cinema lot & back out to PF Changs (mi 5.7 - 6.35 - did not feel strong, could not shift to a higher gear, disconcerting - when the wind was in my face it felt really cold & the standing water was now freezing).
