SCHEDULE: Warmup, Run, and Stretch
RUN:
Length: 3.26 miles
Time: 24:37
Pace: 7:32 per mile
Calories Burned: 499
CONDITIONS: Partly sunny, mild, light breeze
NOTES: A quick run to prepare for the Run for Dave. On the whole, the run was a good one, as my pace was steady and I felt good all around as I was running today. This new dynamic stretching warmup routine is definitely a keeper – I once again felt loose going into my run, as opposed to the first half mile feeling like molasses. I didn’t ever really go all out today, I was just trying to take it easy, but still maintain a solid overall pace.
Another thing that I am very happy with is what appears to be increased flexibility. My muscles have some serious issues with tightness, so this has always been a primary concern of mine. The comprehensive stretching that I now do immediately after my runs seems to be helping out a lot.
One minor concern: there seems to be a little stiffness/soreness in my groin area. This has been nagging me a bit the past couple days. It isn’t anything serious at the moment, but it is nagging and takes a good deal of time to loosen up and get comfortable.
Only one more day until Saturday – in case you haven’t guessed, I LOVE race day!
