It's all coming together now...

Okay, had a quick run today, up the hill, through Beacon Hill park, down along the water, up Government, and back to the hotel, 3.07 miles according to Run.com. Well, I think that I've figured out my tricep problem, I need a massage... ;) Just kidding, I need to alter my running style, I run with my hands very close and high on my chest, to minimize movement and wasted effort, well, apparently it's taking a toll on my triceps, causing minimal movement, but thousands of repetitions of lightweight tricep extensions. It's over use. I figured it out about a mile into the run, as my right tricep started aching, and a couple of minor adjustments to my hand positioning, and it stopped aching. Well, all fine and good I guess. Anyway, the results, 3.07 miles in 24 minutes 44 seconds which puts my pace at 8 minutes 3 seconds/mile. I'm very happy with these results. I just have to look back a couple of months ago, and I was running less than 2 miles before needing to take a quick break. My legs felt pretty heavy today based on my long run two days ago, but still turned a good time. Well, after the run, it was a quick bicep workout, then off to the room for my morning coffee. Well, that's all for now -m3
