The short morning run
Yes, I *ran* and got donuts. I’m sure more than one of them will show up on my calorie intake log.
Ran ~ 6.8 miles in the neighborhood. Granted, my first mile was a 7’30″ pace, but I felt like running, especially uphill, was foreign to me. Staying near 9 minute miles was a challenge most of the time.
My achilles tendon has been tight/sore the last two days, but my knees are mostly ok. I know it’s been less than a week, but my marathon pace seems like a challenge to hit, even for short runs.
