Going the extra mile...literally!

Today was another cardio only day.  My week of rest is almost up.  I decided to go for a one mile run because I had no time to hit the gym for cardio.  I took out The Stick and massaged my calves to avoid any cramping that usually occurs when I run.  I then set out using the path I'd created on http://www.mapmyrun.com to do my one mile run.

I concentrated on a good, even pace and focused on my breathing.  At the half mile point I could feel the burn in my lungs, but I continued to push.  At 3/4 of a mile I went faster, pushing my legs to move in larger strides.  As I came in for the mile, I decided that I felt good enough to go one more time, so I continued.  I managed to complete both miles in 13:37.  I did not have any problems with my calves, but they did feel tight, so I took The Stick and rubbed down the calves until all tension and tenderness was relieved.

It felt good to get in that run.  Now I just look forward to the results on Sunday.  This has to be the cleanest eathing week I've had.  There have been some issues on certain days where the calories probably should've been higher, but overall a great nutrition week.
