6.05 miles~~Sunday

It is another week later and I didn't get to run again.  It has been a busy week with papers and projects due along with a final in one of my classes.  I was a bit slow today, but I tried to just move and enjoy the weather and the beautiful spring flowers and blooms.  

I logged 6.05 miles and kept a pace of 13:14.  I ran and walked today, but at least I got moving.  I ran down towards 231 and make it to the curve right near the end of the road and then turned around.      
The big hill is the hardest part of the run, especially when I go longer distances.  I am tired by the time I get there, and getting up it is really hard.  I used to be able to run down and up the hill going out and then down and up coming back.  Right now, I am back to running down and up going out and going down....and almost up on the way home.  (it is a down hill with an uphill right after it---so it is tough).  

Hopefully I can run sooner than a week from now.  We'll see.

It's been a while...but 6.04 miles today

It has been two weeks, I feel so sluggish!  Classes and life just interrupted and running wasn't in the timeline.  
But today, I got out there and ran 6.04 miles.  Up and down the hills.  But I did it!  My pace was 12:39, not to fast, and not too slow.  I hope I can get out and get in a few more days a week to run.  This is hard just running once or twice a week, or running only once in two weeks!  Somehow I will get in more runs.

I am still fighting a little ache in my heel where the tendon or whatever connects to my heel.  It never hurts while I am running or walking, but hurts later.  My doctor gave me a new cream (a trial he is participating in) and it seems to help.  But the cream is a bit sticky, so I don't always put it on as often as I should.  I probably need to just stretch much more when I am done running.  That would probably help.  I also need to find time to do Stretch X again.  That would feel fabulous.
