Heavy Monday

Short run today after work. Partly because I needed to get back to make a 7 PM appointment; and partly because my legs felt heavy. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I didn't run this weekend. Or maybe because it might be time for new running shoes. Mine have 450 running miles on them.

Lots of runners and cyclists on the path as I ran south. Good weather, a little bit windy. I ran without music again. I might try doing that again for a while . When I initially started running I did so without music. I only started listening to music when I was getting ready for my 10-mile race last May. I'll have to see how I feel on my 5-mile runs.

I also need to remember to hydrate more. And those late-afternoon potato chips were heavy in my stomach. Maybe I shouldn't snack on potato chips so late in the afternoon. Umm, or maybe I shouldn't snack on potato chips. Period. Damn my cravings for all things salty and crunchy.

today's stats: 2.8 mi.; 29 min.
