Tuesday Fastfood Temptation Run

After a rainy day like yesterday, the sun shining in the blue sky prompted me to head outside again.

Still not 100% and a little more aches than I'd like but no more Superfeet insoles. I pulled them out to find I did not grab the original inserts but my Dr. Scholls! Damn! Oh what the hell, I slid them in and headed out.

It was a little cold so I just added my gloves and slid my cellphone (wrapped in plastic) into one glove.

I started my stop watch and the Garmin, pressed play on the iPod and headed out toward In-N-Out. I was still a bit sick but it's not as bad as yesterday. After passing In-N-Out, Taco Bell, Starbucks, and every other temptation I approached Centennial Trail and my cellphone started ringing. Normally this thing is just in case I twist an ankle or get hit by a car but since I was feeling good with my pace I popped it out of my glove and took the call.

Rosemary and I chatted about her work between as I ran Mile 3, then I wiped the large amounts of sweat from my phone, wrapped it, and shoved it back into my glove.

On the way back I lamented the number of traffic lights and noted that the next run will not include cross traffic. I grew pretty tired and my quads were aching with still a mile out. Luckily there are a few songs with a drumbeat tempo matching my 7:40 stride.

When I got back to the gym, I stretched for 30 minutes and did a few chest exercises. I didnt have much left so I called it a day.
