Last week I only got out for one run, and it was on Monday (3 mi, 32:30), so it's been quite a while since I've hit the pavement. I've gotta prevent myself from losing momentum. I didn't run for the sake of running on Sunday, but I played some ultimate for and hour and a half, and I can't even begin to tell you how sore it made me. Moving at all, in any direction, requires the use of muscles which are currently recovering. I didn't run yesterday (I though it best to let my body catch up to me). It's kind of funny, you think you're in fairly good shape, then you change it up for one workout and your body ends up besting you.
In any case, I woke up this morning intending to run, still felt really sore, and decided not to run. Then I changed my mind and decided I was looking for excuses, laced up, and hit the streets. It hurt, but it was a good hurt, not an I'm-going-to-regret-this hurt. Phew. I feel much better now. I ran 2.25 miles at an 11:19 pace (25:24 total) in gorgeous 58 degree weather - so warm for November in New England!
