Knees UP!
Woohoo! Went out for my third run…yep I know I’m not at all consistent with days and have no schedule yet, but all in due time! I added a little loopdy doo to my run so I would reach a full mile. So my mile (actually it was 1.05 miles- but who’s counting) time was 13:11.
Wonder how that time is? Anyone, anyone…Bueller?
Well, the pain in the butt was gone, but I gotta start stretching the calves more. My legs felt really tired and horrible this run. A lot of fatigue mid-way through– then I started remember in that in ancient times (high-school) the mighty “Red Knights” coach would scream - KNEES UP - whenever he saw the look of pain in my face; amazingly enough that actually worked.
I have no idea if its a mental thing or if lifting your knees (besides lengthening your stride) alleviates the fatigue…again Anyone…
I will be attempting to schedule a run every Tuesday night and Thursday night, but who knows how it will pan out (life is in chaos with a toddler).
Later gators!
