Running August 10-16

[Jolt]

Despite the 90-degree sticky weather, I managed to get out for a trail run--stayed out for about an hour and it was actually a good run!

Slow 4.5 miles. My knee is a little sore, and since I am now a little crazy about every ache and pain, I spent some time with a bag of frozen edamame on my knee

Well, I did my first 5k race last night, and it didn't go so well. Went out too fast, then my tummy started doing flips and I kinda died. It was hot and humid, and I knew perfectly well that I should have run some in the evening last week, just to get a feel for the conditions, but never did... My pace ended up being slightly *slower* than what I did in my 10k in July. On the bright side, I didn't puke (the other woman in my church choir who ran did). And I've been reminding myself that when I started running last Oct., I couldn't even make it one mile without a break.... Also, since it's my first 5k, it's a new PR, no matter how slow!

Anyway, last night: 5k (pretty flat) in 31:03. This morning: 3.7 miles (kinda hilly) in 34:30. So be it...
