30 Days: Day 3- Another run in the books

Monday’s are a busy day. Getting back into the swing of things at work as well as maintaining the fitness momentum from the weekend is one of my problem areas.  I’m usually moving from one task to another with little to no break in between.  Typically, I’ll get home from work, I’ll have time to grab a quick snack with my son, and there is just enough time left to make sure he has everything he needs for his Boy Scouts meeting.  Not to mention Trying to get prepared for the very time intensive I reading and course work for the class that I am currently  enrolled in.  Time never appears to be on my side.  Time management courses, instruct you to keep a schedule. Try to do things at the same time every time, in order to make it a routine.  This week I made such an adjustment in my schedule. I decided to go to the gym after work, right  before my son’s scout meeting starts.  As long As I got out of the office on time, that would give me 45 minutes to workout, then get back home to shower, and be ready to leave with my son.

Today, by the time I arrived at the gym I only had enough time for a 25-minute run. So, I ran to go as far as I could within that time.  Over the past few runs, I averaged 2-miles at my 25-minute point.  Today, surprisingly, I surpassed my own record and ran over 2.5-miles during my allotted time.  My TomTom Sports watch tracked me at running 2.6 Miles in 25 minutes.   And more importantly, it was a pain-free run.

The first truly pain-free run since May!  Too early to tell if these new Saucony Omni 15, was all I needed but and 1 day for running pain-free doesn’t constitute winning a battle, but, it is a step toward that goal.
