Let’s start with the bad.

Thursday after work I had the worst run.  Not the worst run since being injured.  I mean, the worst run ever. Maybe it was the hunidity or the fact that I had walked 3 miles at lunch or maybe it was the day after a hard PT session.  But I could not run…my legs felt like I had just run 26.2 miles.

So yesterday, I took the day off from running.

Today I got up early and went to the Corning Bike  Trail.

It was a perfect day. Very little humidity, a slight breeze. I ran a 1/2 mile south and then ran back.

now heading north

Then I ran 1 mile north (and was passed by the speedy Happy Runner) and then back. I tried not to focus on pace but just distance.

happy to be done

What a difference!  I felt great!

Both of my runs were 3 miles but today’s was  9  minutes faster!!!! It’s a new post surgery PR!!! YAY!

run on 6-16-12

run on 6-14-12

What was the difference – I prefer to run in the morning and I just felt like I had more energy.

Unfortunately I had to rush home to go to work at a memorial service for a professor who had died. (My hubby was up on our boat on Lake George – where I plan to be tomorrow).

Happy Running!   Any running or racing for this weekend?
