Fun with a Purpose

I ran up to my office on campus today, to print out some papers for tomorrow. It's just up Gay to Samford, and across College St. It was bitterly cold (at least by Alabama standards), so I donned the compression suit. Still, it seemed rather unpleasant, and I wasn't feeling great on the way out. On the way back, after about a 15 minute break (to work), I felt a lot better. Probably because I was warmed up, and because it's mostly downhill on the way back home. I also added another bit to try and get a little longer run in.

Last Run of 2011

I did meet my goal for December, now to fill in for the end of October and all of November. I ran up to Samford and back via the Museum. I didn't feel great on the way. I was getting rather warm out there, with my spandex and long sleeve t-shirt. It's really quite a nice day out there, but I feel like the compression of the spandex helps with my calf. Also, while I measured my course from Douthat at over 6 miles, I don't think my mapping was accurate, given my time, and the hills. So I'm readjusting my estimate to a more realistic 5-6 miles.
