No Rhythm all Blues!
Last night’s run was intended to be a bit longer than the usual mile, but I just couldn’t get into my rhythm. My pace and cadence was all over the place and I just couldn’t settle into a comfortable zone. Kept thinking about more mileage and something my brother said to me about my Garmin nagging me…I spent most of the run trying to figure out what we were talking about.
My left side again plagued me with pain in my knee and calf…I really need to incorporate some stretching time.
The best part of the run was when I lapped an elderly lady walking and she said…”WOW, you’re running fast”. YES THE RUN WAS THAT GOOD!
Anyone have any suggestions on getting into your “zone, rhythm”?

I don’t know if this is anything anyone else does, but I’ve always timed my breath and my steps. I start out trying to breathe in for 5 steps, out for 5. Then as my hr increases, I go in for 4, out for 4, then to in 3 out 3. It seems to help keep me pretty even and also keeps me from getting winded.
Of course now I’m running with my toddler and baby in a stroller and have to answer such pressing questions as “why is this granola bar crumbly but the one yesterday was chewy” so my pace is always questionable!
Congrats on getting back into running after 8 years! I’m back after a 4 year break…
