The temperature and conditions were perfect - 54 F outside - little wind - sunny. I did my second 7.6 short run - increased it from 6.4. I got a nice time of 55'41" - 55 mins 41 seconds, which comes out to 7:19.605 pace. - sweet! Yeah, definitely got a little bit of the runners high on the way back. The energy was there and the pace picked up. Splits were 11:15 to the base of the footbridge, 24:04 to Mass Ave, 28:27 to BU footbridge, 33:35 back to Mass Ave, 50:10 to Commercial/Washington crossover and 55:41 back home.
Shins were cool - a little sore starting out. The flexibility roller that Sarah Lang recommended to me years ago has made a huge difference. I use this pretty intensely both before and after each run. I find the deep tissue massage it gives on the muscles of the calves and on the sides of the lower leg very therapeutic and helpful. Today I did fee a little heavy starting out - and felt the need to shed a few pounds - however once I got to the footbridge where I always see what time I'm at, I realized I was moving pretty fast - I'm often there at 12:30 but it was 11:15 time wise. Tremendous run overall - exhilarating! Thank you God for the privilege of these runs! What a blessing!
