Back on t'road again - Fri. Nov.17

Well, it was nice to feel I had a reason not to be running -- there was no time at all this week anyway, but I could put it down to "recovery" from the Monson Classic. By Friday, it was wearing thin, and I really needed to stretch out again. So a short evening run -- basically the local 5K, a bit extended. Up to 9, across to go past the VFW and on to 202; along to Allen, turn left to go up that hill and down the other side on to 9 (nearly ran out into traffic: it was dark, and there was no white line marking the end of the street!), up to the left, then down Bay to Hamilton and back along that route.

Time: 31:28
Speed: 8.35 mph
Distance: 4.38 miles

Comments: a first run sort of feeling, with very sore/tight hamstrings. Running in sweat pants and two layers, hat, etc., and I ended up with numbing foot again. Hmm. It wasn't so bad, but I've got to find an antidote. Pace was okay -- I wasn't pushing it except when it felt good; watched the clock at the 5K mark and it read 21:38. Comfortable. Still a bit of prep to do before the 10 miler in Marlboro next week. . .
