Tuesday I was able to eat a regular meal so I decided to go for a slow and brief run. Scout was happy since she had been laying around since Sunday while I was prone or puking. No Garmin, no time or distance goals, just a run to see how I felt. Surprising well in fact.
Today (Thursday) Scout and I set off for Crown Hill. This is one of my favorite places to run. Today a coyote was running along the trail just in front of us for about a half a mile. I've seen it before on or very near the trail. It seems to be very comfortable around p
eople, which is quite unsettling.I didn't really know what this run would be like. I wasn't sure if I had fully recovered from the bug or if I would still be weak. As we set out, I didn't look at our pace until after mile one. I was surprised to see it at 8:47 as it is an uphill mile to get to the park. As it turns out, that first mile was our slowest. Over the 9 miles we averaged 8:33 min/mile. I'm very happy with that. It seems that my training in conjunction with a little time off is really working.
All in all, I'm happy with my training so far. I've made a massage appointment to work out those kinks and keep me feeling good. Only 11 weeks to go!
