Took a nice long run Monday afternoon. Felt good out of the gate with some good music on the ipod and a good pace. Hit 3 miles and felt like going for my own PR. 4.5 into it, the knees started to talk to me. 6 miles into it and the feet were letting me know their dislike of day of running. 7 miles and I was done. My knee had a nice little throb to it and the feet checked out at 6.5 miles. I finished with a time 68 mins with a 9:47 pace. Tuesday I tried to get to gym but felt my body needed the rest to recover. I read the other day as we get older we have to accept we cannot be the young man again lifting running but you can be the best you can be at that given time and if 7 miles is my best then I am happy with it. I would like to push myself and get 10 miles in one day so we shall see.
