Two days in a row, this time a short run following a long run. And it felt worse. The weather was quite a bit warmer - I was off for the day, so I allowed myself to sleep in a little later, which means I went out when the sun was already up. And, as I mentioned in a previous post, so was the traffic, so I had to confine myself to the sidewalk for a good portion of the run. I took one of my usual routes into one of the local developments, and on the return leg I decided to take another detour to a different section of my neighborhood. This section had more shade, but also gave me a monster hill at the end, which I wasn't unhappy to climb...gotta get used to them. At the end of my scheduled three miles, there was absolutely nothing left.
Tomorrow is a scheduled seven miles, which - again - will have some breaks worked into it. I did find some validation in Runner's World, which said breaks are NOT cheating, and still allows one to build endurance.
Sanya Richards-Ross was the Nike Pep-Talker, who congratulated me on my effort.
