The Running Diva

Monday December 17, 2007

Yesterday, Juice and I went to MEC with Syl who was looking for a headlight. Scott happened to be working that day and sold all three of us on this small headlight that he felt worked best especially for running. It is pitch-black right now at Cedar Hell in the mornings when I run so I thought I’d give the headlight a try. Juice was supposed to run with me this morning but when the alarm went off at 6:20 the look of torture on his face was too much to bear so I told him to stay in bed and that I would be just fine. I had my headlight, right? Ha! Actually, the light worked really well! I felt so confident with my footing and I can now see yards in front of me and I don’t have to worry about slamming into walkers and their dogs. I ran for 30 minutes and was surprised that my legs felt ok after yesterday’s run.

I had to pick up my new reading glasses in Fairfield so I left work a bit early and was able to make it to the lakes in time to catch the last bit of light. I ran at a steady pace for 55 minutes and then did 6 strides. My legs still feel pretty good…maybe the fatigue will hit me tomorrow. I did my weight and core routine after supper and got to bed pretty early.
