5.20.2012 Running

The second half of my workout today was a run. I wanted to go on a longer one slower one, but timing didn't allow for it. So, I decided to put in a medium-high intensity 5 miles. The weather was excellent, windy on the turn around, but really great otherwise. The Brooks Pure Connect shoes are still feeling like a dream. I wasn't expecting too much out of this run since my nutrition yesterday was destroyed by me 3 yr old son's birthday party. Pizza, hotdogs, cake, rum, beer, and chips equated to a 5 lb gain in food weight from the onset of the party to bed time. I ate much better today, but still didn't have high hopes for the run. It's those kind of runs/workouts that are sometimes really surprising. I was happy to find that I got into a good stride and just floated through the first 3 miles, 4 was a little tougher, and then 5 was easier. All in all it was a pretty good run.
