AM - 3 miles by myself, average pace of 7:30/mile. Legs feel tons better. I feel somewhere between 90-95% recovered. Not 100%, because there is still some lingering soreness in my legs, but otherwise I am feeling pretty good. After I got back, I took Sparky out for another 3 miles, average pace of about 8:05/mile. I think that he likes the cooler temperatures much more - he wasn't panting at all during the run. It was between 40-45 degrees this morning when I first started running, as it was 45 degrees when I came back and got Sparky. Ran in shorts and a short sleeve technical tee - felt marvelous. It was a bit chilly at first, but then my body started to warm up, and I was able to just enjoy the cooler weather. It was actually nice for a change to not be sweating buckets even in the early morning. |
