Day 54 - a little extra time


Michelle and the kids have gone over to Midland to visit her family and make spaghetti sauce.  That's right, Dutch folk making spaghetti sauce.  Kinda weird.  Either way, I had some extra time, so I did my two miles and then did some sprints.  I even rode my bike around a little just to get a few miles and a good warm-up.

Distance: 2 miles/8 laps at West Catholic's track.  This was followed by 3 fifty yard and 3 one hundred yard sprints.

Weight: not sure, I'll check tomorrow (212.2 on the pain center scale)

Results: My knee felt good, but my lower legs were quite tired for some reason.  My time wasn't particularly slow, but by the end of the 2 miles, my lower legs felt quite fatigued.  During most of my runs, I have felt as if I could easily keep going, if I wanted to.  Not so much today.  Also, that little open spot at the base of my left 1st toe came open again, which really hindered my running on the track.  Shoes!  I need shoes!!!

What I Learned: not every day is a good day (honestly, I already knew this).  My legs didn't feel the best, but that is OK.  I got through it.

Plan: Run Friday.  I don't know when Michelle & Company will get home but hopefully I can get a run in before they arrive.
