i really put in some miles his week. i debated on doing today's run in the evening since i ran yesterday evening. but i got up this morning and hit the streets. so it's great that i am done for the week and can celebrate the week's accomplishments while resting up for my sunday run.
yesterday's beer run was 4 miles and the pace was easy for me even though it is faster than my training runs. it is good practice to run with a bunch of people running different paces. it simulates race day; well sort of.
i am starting to get a bit of anxiety. i need to counterbalance that with some yoga and meditation. at least i booked the accommodations many weeks ago because i would not want to deal with that now.
on my entire run today i had good breathing form. this helps to keep muscles from tiring out. however, all of the routes i run have challenges in the road, sidewalk or path. this slows me down as i have to focus on hitting the ground safely to not cause injury. where the path is smooth, i can get in "the zone" and move forward with a balanced cadence of breath and body. that is amazing for this old man. but the best part is i am still enjoying it.
