Nothing real special about today. Up kind of early (5ish) watch a little TV, and pay a few bills. As the sun starts to come up, I realize that I am feeling pretty good and today might be a good day for a morning run.
'Bout 5:45 I hear my alarm go off. Oops, I thought I turned that off. By the time I get into the bedroom, my wife has reached over and turned it off (she is not going to be happy about having to do that). Predictably, she gives a low groan (more of a growl) as I fiddle with the morning annoyance which has already interrupted her sleep. Thirty minutes later I hear her alarm clock sound. No telling if she was able to go back to sleep in the interim. If she was, or if she wasn't, either way, I will hear about it.
As 6:30 approaches, I have made the decsion that I will in-fact run today. So I pull out a sleeveless dri-fit Adidas shirt, a pair of shorts, and lace up my Mizuno Wave Inspires. Just add a couple of decent size drinks of water and my mp3 player and I'm ready to roll.
I have decided to run the Sunnywood 5K route today. As I get started, I am feeling pretty good (my glutes are still really sore... damn lunges). Pace is very similar to the same route last week, right around 17 minutes when I reach the turn-around point. I maintain about the same pace as I make my way home. Complete the run in just under 34 minutes (that's about a 10.7 minute/mile for those of you scoring at home). Overall, a good run to start the day.
At some point, I am going to have to work on increasing my pace. But, I suppose that can wait for now.
