limp limp limp

this morning turned out to be a fine run but required more focus then past runs because i wasn't sure how long we would actually be running. turning back before leaving the park and doubling back at the end changed how i broke down the mileage. of course focusing on the distance, a mile is a mile, no matter where helped. i limped through the first four miles or so. the comforting part about this run is that i am consistently running an average of 9.26 miles. why is this good? well its good because they are relaxed and enjoyable. there is not much work or strain happening on cardio or muscle fatigue. i still have to be careful of my ibitol band issue. it has snuck up and making itself known. i also need to focus on speed during shorter runs when my leg is better, to improve form and to be careful i don't settle into a shuffle pace. the deer where beautiful today. for those of you not from the area we run amongst deer, 'wild' bore, alligators, birds, snakes ( i hate them) coyotes and of course your generic raccoons, armadillos and bugs. thankfully we mostly see deer!!!
