7 degrees when I started. I thought winter was over! Hopefully soon.... I put out some Gatorade this morning. I need to get used to drinking again while I run. I started out by running through town for 3 miles, took a drink, then did the Wal Mart Loop. I was at mile 9 and making my way back to my aid station and the urge to use the bathroom was intense. It was a rough final mile before I could get to a bathroom. None the less, I made it in time and all was well. First 10 miles were as such:
10 Miles:1:04:48
Pace: 6:29
I felt SO much better after my stop at the bathroom. Not sure if it was something I ate last night, but I hope this doesn't happen again. Anyway, took another drink of Gatorade, only by this time the drink was halfway frozen. The slush was tasty! Did the Wal Mart loop one more time, plus up past Cedar High to 300 W, north past the college to 200 N, then home on burger lane. When I got back to my drink it was frozen. First time I've had that happen to me.
8 Miles: 49:32
Pace: 6:12
All in all, a good run. My knee felt fine overall. I noticed it a time or two, but pain seemed to be everywhere today: side of right knee, bottom/front of right knee, right hip, left hamstring, right hamstring, right butt. My body is out of line or something...... I set up an appointment for the chiro on Tuesday. Hopefully he can fix me up and not empty my wallet.
