Whew. Only 3 miles today (88 to go for the month), but it was extremely humid and about 79 degrees this morning when I went out. I'm very happy though: 3 miles at about 9:20 steadily without any breaks! That means if I did a 5K right now I could actually break the 30 minute mark, which I've never done in a race before, so I feel pretty good about that.
Today's run was in Nashua, from my parents's house out to Main Street, down to my aunt's house, and back for the total of 3 miles. Steady slow downhill grade on the way out, and uphill on the way back. Reminded me of when I was a little kid riding my bike saying to myself, "If I can just get up this last hill [on Taylor Street] without getting killed by a car or truck coming around the bend, I can get to the downhill on Lynn Street and not have to pedal again!"
Back is still bothering me a little, but didn't feel bad at all during the run today. I have a little tightness in my hamstrings, but nothing some stretching can't fix. Had LOTS of water yesterday and I think that helped today. Tomorrow is a cross-training day, and the plan is yoga after work. I can't wait!
