Notes:
First off, I really gotta calibrate my Garmin Forerunner 50; whilst Nike+ is reporting that I’ve run 18.38 miles, Garmin says I only did 17.71 ugh.

Anyway, the run itself was ok until like, the first 6 miles (or thereabouts). I ran with Irene once again and shortly after we turned around, I dropped back as usual and continued the rest of the run on my own. Dropping back wasn’t a great idea, actually, since I tend to take ‘unscheduled’ walk breaks rather than stick to my run/walk intervals. It’s odd cos even if I felt ok (physically), I think mentally I was giving up (yet again). I really have to work on that. >_<

No major pain felt and I like the socks my sis got for me last weekend: they’re double-layer “Anti-Blister System” ones by WrightSock. Kinda pricey for 3 pairs of socks but they worked for me today! w00t.

Notes:
I was not into this run at all. I don’t know if it was because of the wicked head winds, or the food I had for lunch or if I was still unwell from what I ate last night (see my entry titled Bad Salmon) but yeah, I wasn’t into running today. Still, I needed the mileage/preparation for this weekend’s 18-miler. I just hope that the Friday rest day is enough for me to recuperate or recharge my batteries, if you will, for the long run… Oh, and I hope it doesn’t rain on Saturday either! EEP!
