I somehow managed to convince Tay to go for a run around 9pm, with the promise that we wouldn't stay out very long, only one running session and a walking warmup and cooldown. We started off at a good pace and despite the temperature (weather network indicated a temp of 33 with the humidex, but it felt relatively cool), I managed to stay just ahead of Tay until 10 minutes or so into our run and then I began to fall behind a little bit. At the 15 minute mark I pulled the plug and said I couldn't do anymore; we slowed down and walked for 20 minutes. Shortly before we got home I began to notice a cramp in my right hip and a slight pain behind my right knee - I made sure to stretch well when we got in, but later, when I was complaining that my legs were sore, Tay tsked me and said that I should have said something about the pace and we could have slowed down. I gave him what I hoped was my best stubborn You're-kidding-me look and then for extra emphasis I declared there was no way I was going to do that.
Competitive much? Maybe just a little :).
Two short runs in a row - I'm hoping to hit the treadmill after work tomorrow for a lengthier run. I'd like to get into running daily, even if 4 or 5 of the 7 runs are shorter, with 2 longer runs, and during my shorter runs I can work on building up my speed.
