April 28, 2011 – Training Run

What an amazing run. Today, for the first time, I went 20 minutes straight without walking. My quads were like jello in the beginning and my knees were sore, but I have gotten used to the fact that after about 5 minutes, everything loosens up and I can run without soreness. It was nice and sunny and warm, so I’m getting closer to training in race day situations. I didn’t shave too much off my overall time, but I finished 3.2 miles in 38:09, about 10 seconds faster than the last time I recorded. The phone GPS app isn’t very accurate, so I can’t wait to eventually get a GPS watch that does a better job.

Speaking of which, here’s a recap of my current sponsors:
