Peach Fuzz...

So my run didn't turn out to be so bad today. If I don't get a run in over the weekend Monday runs are usually painful. Throw in missing a Friday run and things can get downright ugly.

My intent today was to just slow down my pace and run for a full 40 minutes. (That's all I can muster during my lunch hour). I figured if I slow my pace down a little I won't wear myself out so fast for having not run in 3 days. I started at a 9:00 a minute pace and kept that up for about 3 miles. I felt great. I did speed the pace up for about a half a mile but quickly brought it back down. My legs were still a little heavy and the lungs weren't in top form. For the last ten minutes I increased the pace again to about 8:30. At this point I was feeling really good and my body was responding pretty well to what I was doing.

When all was said and done I logged in 4 and a half miles in my 40 minute run. Not too bad for a Monday. Truth be told it's the best Monday run I've had in a long time.

Oh I almost forgot. To rid myself of that "sluggish" feeling, I had a peach about a half an hour before my run today. I think it may have given me that little energy boost that I needed.

Remember..."Peaches come from a can..they were put there by a man..in a factory downtown"
