Got the 8-miler in, but stiff first half

For the first time in who knows how long, I got off work on time today, and was able to hit the pavement right away. The 8-miler was a full run and then some around Forest Park. It was windy at times and light drizzle, and it felt great to be out, especially with the fall temperatures.

It took me about 45 minutes to loosen up today! I was really surprised, especially since I ran 4 yesterday. Figured I’d be loosened up. It was almost an instant feeling from stiffness to loose as I climbed a small hill on the trail. Even though it was tough today, I think it’ll be worth it when it comes to the next long runs. I don’t wanna wimp out.

I ran my 8 miles in 1:25:10.

Just found this blog – my wife and I are running the marathon this year. We are from Alberta, Canada where snow probably start coming down any time now.

Keep healthy and have a good taper.
