The Road to Ultra

Today's Run: 3.12
Run Time: 32:28
Total Miles to Date: 184.4

Thoughts on the Run:

Today was an easy three. I actually still ended up running it faster than intended. I started up the hill with what I perceived as a slow, easy pace. I made it up and up without the normal struggles and felt great. I let myself speed up on the downhills and enjoy gravity. At the end of my out-and-back, I doubled around and made it up "Goliath" no problem. The end of the run is marked by a long downhill. I wanted to "open up" and run it hard but decided to take it easy. Plenty more runs this week. My ITB felt tender but was manageable and thorough stretching afterwards silenced any complaints.

I fired up the ole DietPower software yesterday and will be posting some meals and stats.
