Day 6

March 26, 2012

Weather:      65 and very windy
Time:           12:15 PM

Playlist:         All Rush baby!
                      Limelight
                      Free Will
                      YYZ

Shoes:            Nike Free 4.0


Location:       Route along the Des Moines River.  Gorgeous.












Distance/Pace:   This was all running.  Not too shabby.  Almost 10:00 even first mile









Running Partner:      None.  There were a lot of folks out running today, however none were running with me necessarily.  When I got back to the Y after I was done, I might have snuck in with a group of hard-core guys just to make it look like I had been out running with them the whole time.

How it Felt:       Really pretty good.  I never felt like I was sucking wind, although I got the old familiar stitch in my right side towards the end.  Also, my lower back on my right side started hurting today.  Again, I had the slight pain in my right lower leg but it went away quickly when I was done.  I definitely felt like I could have gone further today.  By far, the best part of today's run was being able to breathe well enough while running to shout out "if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice...something something I will choose FREEWILL!"  in my best Getty-Lee-after-smoking-too-many-packs-of-cigarettes-and-being-totally-winded falsetto.  Also, there may have been some Neil Pert-esque fist pumps timed perfectly with the cymbal crashes.     Looking forward to going further tomorrow.

  2. Dude, I love MMW! I'll definitely have to add that to the mix. I'm so glad you're reading and commenting on here, it makes me feel like I'm not just shouting into empty space!
