Running Thoughts: Week Six

Ian Charleson as Eric Liddell in Chariots of Fire- and no, he's not about to sneeze...

I think this image captures the expression of how I felt after running the 6 miles, this past Saturday. The second lap around the Bowl was a bit of a challenge, but with some moral support by Annaha- she encouraged me to follow her pace- and that helped alot.


Note: Pace is key, maybe with some spice included.

Earlier this week, I felt the residual effects of that 6 mile run- a bit of soreness (must be an age thing) and discomfort on my right knee.
For this past week for my evening runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I decided to take things a little easier. To avoid any future problems with my right knee, I also decided to wear an Ace™ knee brace which has helped my right knee. Also, for this week, I've concluded my runs with a steady brisk walk.
After having a convo with Darren, I definitely need to get a new pair of running shoes. Even checked out Snail's Pace- which isn't too far from where I live. I'll be going back with our visit on Wednesday.

I recently added this to my personal runs- an ipod shuffle. Quite a lightweight gadget. I suppose if you do run on your own, gotta run with some catchy hooks, no?

I'll try to be mindful of Joel's notes on "Good Running Form" ( previous entry). The foot plant is something I'll try to keep in mind.

So tomorrow's run-- should be pretty good since we'll just be running 3 miles.
