Since the running season is about half-over, I thought I’d make a little post about some gains I’ve had.
Well, I can breathe. This is good, and I’m glad my surgery worked. It only cost ten shortdays in the hospital and 2 months of being super defensive about my throat. BUT I CAN BREATHE WHEN I RUN.
My breathing has improved, too, in a pretty short time. This means that my casual pace has gotten faster.
Speaking of pace, my pace is finally back to my pre-accident pace of 6 mph (that’s been my advertised pace for 9 years. Which it was sometimes, but who knows?). Now I’ll try to improve that. I’d say I knocked about 40 seconds to a minute and a half from my pace.
It’s not always 10:00, though. Only when it’s not terribly hot or early.
Also, I figured out a loop by my house that is 3.2 miles or so. Pretty cool. I’ll tell more about running forms later. This post is just a Sunday Random.
