New short term goal and where am I at today

Here’s a new goal: Blog every day until the end of my holidays in July. And believe it or not I do want to do this as I enjoying blogging and have been missing it for a while now.

So what’s on today? Today is an easy run 50-60 minutes. I’ll be going up to the Running Room (RR) and run with the guys.

For tonight I want to be sure to not overdue on pace. I’m feeling quite stiff today from Monday night Yoga class. It was a good class but we worked continuously from start to finish in a kinda of a constant flow. This is okay it’s just the fact that I haven’t done a continuous flow like that for quite a while. Perhaps it was a good reminder that I need more classes like that.

If I can be smart about my pace tonight it should allow my body to recover fully before tomorrow night’s more challenging Steady State pace run.

Being stiff from the Yoga class also showed that in general I recover well from my runs. After most runs, even the tougher ones, I don’t feel as bad. Using the RUNRR from McMillan helps with the muscle recovery.

I’m always amazed on days like this that I can even run. I call it the old man syndrome. I know in my head that I can go and do the run. My body is suggesting a different message. Even during the run I may not feel good until 30 or so minutes into the run. Some days just take a while to get into a good groove. I’ll stretch a bit at least before the run tonight.

Bottom line: It’s a gorgeous day (+ 25c) and very little wind. Should be a great night for a run.
