I planned for a 10 mile run today, but didn't work out the way I wanted. I started at home because it was raining. I wanted to try the new shoes, and the treadmill seamed like a good idea. I tried the new pouch for the Nike+ sensor as well. I started out with my regular pace and was feeling great, the shoes felt great as well. I decided to check the Nike band after mile 1and noticed that the band was showing only .56 out of the whole mile. I stopped to checked it. I ended the workout on the band and restarted again and kept going.. Mile two came up and the band only picked up .17 out of the 2nd mile. I re-linked the band and the sensor and the band and seemed to fixed the problem. As I got close to mile 3, Jocelyn began to complain that it was getting cold in the house. I was getting really hot and they were getting cold.I felt bad that they were cold and decided to hit the street. It seemed like the rain had stopped, but it looked cold. So I put on a set warmer and dryer clothes. Yes, I took the new shoes with me.. lol. I ran to the park and was tempted to keep going towards the bridge to make it a 6 mile run, but noticed too many branches and some flooding on the path, so I headed back after mile 2 to make it a 4 mile run on top of the 3 miles I already had on the treadmill.
I started mile 4 a bit too fast without noticing it. I was a bit shocked to see that I pulled a mile under 8 minutes after 3 miles. So, I slowed down, the goal today was not to get a new PR but to just run and try not to injure myself eve more. When I looked out of he window before heading out, it looked like it was not raining at all, but once out there, I got wet. lol I didn't get that tightness on my calf or pain on my shin so I was a very happy camper :-)
