Today I did my run in the afternoon-early evening. First of all, I was supposed to do the run this morning: I had my stuff ready and all, but changed my mind and did the video workout instead.
So, due to the “long” run (couldn’t do it in the gym), I chose to go for a run at 5 pm after work-before dinner. Not a problem since we are having some record spring weather in Albuquerque – hit 71-73 degrees today.
Unfortunately, I feel like crap a lot in the afternoon-evening runs. No matter what I eat, how well I eat, or what time I eat, I have a side cramp, and just don’t feel well.
Also, anyone who has been in Albuquerque for any amount of time knows that the wind is as much as Albuquerque in the late winter-early spring as sunshine. You can’t avoid it.
Today wasn’t pleasant. I had a headwind for more than half my run, and to make matters worse, it was the uphill half. I’m not talking a trade wind that you want in Hawaii. These are awful winds and they were here today. There were wind gusts up to 31 mph today, and that isn’t bad.
AS a result I realize I need to start getting up to do my runs in the morning, before the afternoon winds come.
Today’s accomplishments: Firm Upper Body Sculpt – 8 lbs. and 5 lbs. – am I ready to increase the weights for March… Outdoor PM Run (wind) Run: 5.43 miles; 50:05 minutes; 9:14 min/mi (Garmin).
