I ran today, but my thighs were not cooperating. I felt like I was shuffling, speed-walking, or running in slo-mo. The temperature was around 39 or 40, so it was cold, but tolerable. The winds were light and that helped a lot. I was surprised that my legs didn't want to cooperate because I took an extra day off after the long run. I thought that would be good. I didn't go home and nap after the long run Sunday, I came home, showered, and headed back out again to run errands, so I was moving afterwards. I wasn't stationary, letting my muscles tighten.
Anyway, the run today was agonizingly slow. I thought for sure I would have been faster. Splits for the run were 11:07, 11:12, 11:28, 11:32, 11:24. It was a five mile run in 56:42 for an average pace of 11:20. I am glad I did it and I'm glad I slogged through the full five miles. I hope that it will be easier tomorrow.
