Wow, today I did my first run after Ironman. I finally decided that I couldn't sit around the house all day and go out to dinner without doing some form of exercise. I decided running was the quickest and easiest thing to do, so I went for a run.
After I finally got out the door, I debated the trail that I was going to run. I finally decided to run Cottontail to 73rd Street and make a loop. It wasn't very hilly; and, hopefully I would feel good. I really wanted to run the trail across the street but it is uphill for 1. 5 miles. I figured I wouldn't feel good while running uphill so I opted for Cottontail.
When I left the house, a storm front was moving in; I hoped that I wouldn't get caught in the storm. I started running when I left the parking lot; moving quite slow. I had no idea that I would never be able to increase the pace.
Normally, I feel good after 10-20 minutes of running. Today, this did not happen. I could feel that I was going super slow even though I did not wear my watch. I had zero speed, not that I needed speed today; but it would have been nice to be able to run a bit faster.
I'm so glad that I got out for a 35 min run. however, my legs were super heavy and slow. I hope I feel better tomorrow when I mt. bike.
