A medium run today of five miles, after skipping the first short three-miler. After moving last week's long run to this past Sunday, I was looking at three consecutive days of running this week, allowing for a day off after the seven miles of Sunday, and a day off before the eight miles on Saturday. Since I am most definitely NOT an elite runner, and my body is still getting used to all this distance running, 11 miles in three days seemed a bit much.
Another local trip around the neighborhood, effectively doing loops in some developments, to make up the five miles without having to actually travel that far. Got out around 0415, so traffic wasn't much of an issue, though I much prefer to run in daylight. I can't wait for the days when running in daylight is more comfortable, in terms of temperature and humidity, than running in the dark.
Because of the hip-flexor pain, I took a two-minute break around the four-mile mark, and that seemed to help. Finished the last mile in good shape, with a pretty quick pace, though the data says it was the slowest mile, but only because the break came after mile four.
No Nike Pep-Talker again, and strangely, that's starting to irritate me.
The run.
