The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
I drove over to the trailhead again after work tonight. I ran 4 miles and decided to push the pace a little bit to see how out of shape I am. The results were good and bad. The good is that I did manage to run the 4 miles in 26:47, which is a 6:42 pace. The bad is that I was breathing pretty hard at that pace. Another good thing is that it didn't feel fast to my legs, I was just sucking air. More good news is that I've just started running and have absolutely no base built up yet so it's just all my natural running ability, so I have lots of room for improvement to say the least. It felt good to push the pace a bit and get the heart and lungs going again.

"Run Rang-ah!" That's cool that you pushed yourself a bit to see what the story is.
ReplyDeleteGood job Mike....I thought you had a Clint Eastwood posting when I first saw the title. I can't believe you can run that pace without a base, but I guess you must come from some pretty good stock.
