Well, I went for a short 2 mile run today. I was going to do 4, but after my last run of 4, I felt my ITB more than any of the other runs. So, not sure what that meant, but I didn't like it. I allowed for some extra days off as well before today's shorter run.
To be honest, I set out trying to run a 10:00 min/mile pace. Well, I must suck really bad, since I ended up running an 8:50min/mile pace. *shakes head* So, I think its time that I take more advantage of my new GPS watch and be better about running a better long-haul pace for me. Perhaps that will even help my ITB issue, as long as I don't get too "clompy" with my strides, since that will add stress on the knee.
All in all, the run felt fine though. Just can't believe that an 8:50 pace felt slow and smooth to me. Not to mention, my heart rate stayed right around 147 BPM for that run...
