It was much harder to get myself motivated to go for a run this morning especially since my right leg was feeling a little bit sore.
I pushed myself to get up and go anyway. I ran the same route I ran yesterday, about a mile again but I consciously made myself run a little bit slower, I didn’t want to injure my right leg. My time ended up being 11:16.
I felt a lot stronger today than I have in previous runs. I could actually look around and take notice of my surroundings, pay attention to the song playing on my headphones, etc. Most of my previous runs have been concentrating on keeping myself my keeling over and dying. Hah!
I think that’s why I noticed that the second half of my run is all uphill, a small uphill most of the way but uphill none the less.
I live on a little hill so any run I do is going to have to be uphill on the return for the most part. For that reason, I picked what I thought was small downhill and then a flat section to do most of my run on until I noticed today that it wasn’t so flat after all.
I also need to put some new music on my mp3 player, I think hip hop would be a good running partner.
