day three

4 mile run today - once again in the pouring rain! At least it was warm, I ran in a sport tank top. My time was about 38 minutes, not bad, not good either. Definitely felt fatigued the majority of the run... sometimes when I run, no matter how long I have been going for, it feels like I'm fighting the wind or something. And then other times, I feel like I could run a 7 minute mile for 5 miles and still keep going. I guess it all depends on diet, rest and stretching. Gotta find my medium.

I also need to find some new running routes - I ventured off my normal track towards the end of my run to make it an even 4 miles - and I noticed it was less difficult to keep moving. I think maybe part of why I have been struggling to keep going might have to do with boredom - mixing up my routine and maybe changing my workout play list might help. We will see! At least I have a few weeks of shorter runs to get into the swing of things...

Also, I have been having some serious problems with my right leg, especially my knee. I noticed that I often land on the outside of my foot. I think I need to get that checked out asap. Maybe get some sort of knee brace thing so keep my leg straight when I run.
