Tired muscles [08/18/2010]

The training calendar said 6M. After yesterday's fabulous run, I was looking forward to this one too. Its been raining a lot the whole day. But I was looking forward to go out today despite the rain. Grabbed a 20min nap and had some yogurt before taking off after work. I did quite a bit of stretching before taking off on my old Leipsic road route.
Started really slow and then picked up speed. I made sure that I was up there..but still not. If you know what I mean. The moment I felt that I was straining too much, I slowed stopped. No cramps. Tried to maintain the posture as suggested in one of the videos I saw last night of how to maintain the posture...the chest and legs to be in line when the foot falls. All said and done, I just listened to my body. And I think I am doing a good job!

Btw...200M on the Vibrams! YAY!
Also, I am planning on revamping my program. Doing another 5M tomorrow...I just think I am not doing the right thing. Will take it easy...maybe just some stretching and warm up walk or so. Lets see.
Meals: Cereal + Vit D milk for breakfast, cauliflower भाजी + चपाती for lunch, pierogi + sausages + cole slaw for dinner (thanks to Marquis and Stephanie, my roommates here at Dover)...yummy!

Oh yeah! Almost forgot. Durk at work suggested that I do a half marathon before the full just to get a feel for the pace I am developing on D-day. And coincidently, Holly said her running group is planning on forming a running club and needs people to be in their running group for a half marathon in Philly! Talked to Madhura and we might be going in for that...Sept 19th. And we have to do a 12M run that particular Sunday anyways! So all seems just right. Lets see.
