Notes:
Hello hello. Long time no see, Mr. Long Run. First off, my average pace and calories burned are 12'38"/mi and 956, respectively. I did not have my Garmin with me today (sis has borrowed it for months now!) so I used my iPod and Nike+ combo thingy. I think I need to calibrate the thing — it's not as accurate as my GPS readings with the Garmin but it did its job for this run. The run itself was mostly a walk-run-walk — I'm trying to get back into running after months of inactivity (aside from those sporadic mid-week runs) and think I wasn't too bad. The soles of my feet hurt but that's because I haven't been stretching; my right knee kinda started to hurt but I upped my pace and ran on my 'toes' a bit to stretch it out. The weather was perfect — not too cold nor sunny; I just love those semi-cloudy days and I think what kept me going was the fact that I'll have a week-long surfing holiday after my marathon in June! So yah, getting back in shape and hoping this jump-starts my marathon training. ^_^ Next week… 15 miles!
Oh, one odd thing to note — I didn't drink much of my Gatorade nor eat more than 6 of the Jellybelly "Sport Beans". Normally, I'd eat 1 ClifSHOT blok every thirty minutes but I guess my run lacked the intensity for my body to crave that stuff. Like I said, it was odd… Also, had pasta last night for supper (if Macaroni and Cheese counts! LOL)
