Finally feeling good enough to run and what happens? Snow.
Snow, snow, snow. Four to seven inches by morning. I had to settle for three slow miles
on the treadmill.
Today I threw out some old friends. These Avias were my
first pair of running shoes. I ran my first 5K in them. But I can only have so
many pairs of old, worn out, running shoes lying around, so in the trash they
went. As you can see, I’m a heel striker. I always wear my heels out first. I
would like to be a forefoot runner, but it’s just not how I’m built.
My next race is on the 24th which is this Sunday.
It’s a 15K and fairly flat until the last mile and half which is uphill. I hope
it’s at least in the 40s and all the snow is gone by then. I really am sick of
the cold and snow. It's March. Where is spring?
And speaking of sick, my problem was severe eye strain which was
causing migraine headaches and weird flu-like symptoms. I sit in front of a
computer all day at work. I want to get my work done so I sit and work, and work and work. The cure is to take a break every 20 minutes, get away from
the computer at the first sign of a headache and reduce stress. Only a slight headache at the end of the day so I guess it's working.
Stats:
3.0 miles, 29:14
minutes, 9:45 pace
