Officially past the one-quarter mark. Four weeks down, 12 to go to the Marathon.
Short run of three miles, coming out of the firehouse. And yet another humid day, although I am catching on to the fact that when I run down in Gregg Park, it's just that way, since it is hard alongside Newark Bay. Nice breezes off the water, but not enough to counteract the humidity, and sometimes makes it worse, if it's blowing hard enough.
Took it relatively slow, since the left hip flexor is giving me problems again. I am trying to manage it with a bit of stretching, though not nearly enough, and ibuprofen, which does help, but that is also something that I don't take as consistently as a I should. And like all such medications, you can't just take one dose and be done with it. You have to build it up to keep the inflammation at bay and make it work over time.
This is the last week of the three-mile short run. Starting next week, the short runs are four minutes, which was the medium run a few weeks ago.
No Nike Pep-talker again.
The run.
