running: the dawn

Monday I was sore.  Yesterday I was kinda sore.  Today…I went running!

Not sure why, but I was all kinds of nervous before heading out.  I wasn’t really sure how my legs would feel or how I would feel while running.  In addition to that I had some speedwork on the schedule.  Nothing too intense, but I always get really nervous about running at predetermined paces.

No need to fear!  It went great.  I did a warm up around the neighborhood, then headed to the track.  5 sets of 600 meters later and I was on my way home.  My legs did feel a little sore when I picked up the pace.  But, I gotta tell you…it felt SO GOOD to be out running again.  Like, AMAZING.

After such a long draining run this weekend, I had forgotten how energizing a little speed can be.  Oh, it feels amazing.  I need to stretch out and spend some time with my foam roller now….but I am feeling great!
