I had a dinner to get to and had just awakened from a 4-hour nap, since I&#8217;d only gotten 3 hours of sleep between a production that wrapped around midnight and another production that started at 6:30am today.  These were the circumstances that bore on today&#8217;s run.  I&#8217;m very happy with the result: I challenged myself to go fast today, to see if I could run to get a good time, and I kinda did.  In this heat that wasn&#8217;t screamingly humid, I did 7:25s over 6.25 miles.  My pace was pretty steady, and I could feel that my stamina on hills had improved.

They don&#8217;t seem really to affect my running much, though, other than being a nuisance.  However, I wonder if the one on my left foot has affected my stride, though: Up the outside of my left leg, the tendons or whatnot are sore and made me walk a little funny, as if I&#8217;m trying to protect my blister.  It affected my walk but not my run, which was nice to find out.<\/p>\n<p>Not much more to say other than I&#8217;m pleased with today&#8217;s results.  Afterwards, I surprised myself by hitting the gym for a quick set of arms, abs, shoulders, and even back.  I think it&#8217;s my latissimus dorsi that are what&#8217;s troubling me right now&#8211;back spasmlike pain has been ravaging me the last few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The temperature was 78, humidity 60%, and there was the threat of rain.
