It was good getting back on the road again. The weather was ideal, no wind, sunny and about 15 degrees at 700am. My route was a little over 5K, which was a good start seeing how I haven't run any sort of distance for more than three weeks. The training called for 4 miles, but that's o.k. for today. The run felt great - no real aches or pains and the new shoes performed well. My legs were a little tired and my breathing was a little more difficult than usual, but I never run well early in the week; not sure why, but my best runs are usually on Sundays.
I'm not so fussy about training in miles. It means I have to convert the miles to kilometres and then get in the car and clock off the distances before I can run them. The training for the Tely 10 was in minutes, which was great because all you had to do was strap on your watch and run. There was no pre-established routes; you just ran and hoped you ended up close to home by the time the right number of minutes had passed.
I spent the rest of the day tearing out sub-floor from my basement, back-breaking work to say the least. I also found time to mow the lawn. Needless to say, by supper time, I was pretty tired.
An early night and back to the basement in the morning.
