Quiet, Productive Day
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! I got a good laugh from the piece Mary provided by Andy Rooney on women over 30. :-)
I decided to take off from work to start working on my knowledge management CIO briefing and clean up around the house, since I got nothing done over the weekend. Besides, I was felt like a cold was coming on and wanted to take it easy. Good thing I did...my upper body's a little less achy and my cough has subsided. I should probably still pick up some Dayquil on the way to work tomorrow.
I ended up doing a progession run on the treadmill for 63 minutes (8 miles) because I didn't make it out before it got dark. My hips were a bit stiff from the hike yesterday, so it felt great to stretch everything out. My left knee-hamstring-IT band (I'm not sure what - the spot moves) is still tweaked from Saturday, though. The combination of the above made my level of effort feel harder than I was actually running. I started out ~8 minute pace and worked down every couple miles to a 7:30 pace. Since Army Ten Miler is on Sunday, I plan on taking the rest of this week easy. No PR expected, but I do want to make a solid effort to gauge my current level of fitness.
Yikes, it's getting late...time to go to bed.
