We're getting a bit of an unusually warm spell running through the neighbourhood over the last couple of days. One could hope that this means spring is on its way, but that seems unlikely. Instead, winter is probably preparing to unleash a vicious couple of weeks on us in the near future. But for now, it's kind of warm, so I get to run outside.
The mileage is still low, and the intensity is still light. There was a very good wind (40+ km/h, gusting over 50), which makes for some quick running followed by a tough slog with every turn. Fighting my way back from this cold, my breathing still sucks, so my pace was a bit down (since I pace off my breathing). That's not a big deal, I consider it auto-regulation of effort. The run itself felt really nice. My hamstring tendon has been bugging me since yesterday, which is the first time since I started focusing on the stretching in January. I'll pop an Advil to take down the inflammation, and try to make sure I'm fully stretched every day this week. I can't let these little things build up in the off-season. Now is the time to clear them out, so in-season I can hit it hard with consistency.
Run: 6 miles, zone 1-2
