For me, todays run was much better than the previous one. I started running at a comfortable pace which I thought gave me a chance to warm up. I did run faster when I could and alternated between a run and a jog also walking for sometime in between. We probably ran a little over a mile in about 14 mins. So far so good!
It was nice for our experienced runners to point out that the first two miles of a run are always tough. Another good advice was, if you feel you have some energy left, focus on improving your speed rather than trying to go for an extra mile when you are running less than 5 miles. If you are an excellent runner and are in peak shape, you can try running extra miles but only after you give your 100% to your set goal distance. Hydrate yourself.
I will update this post in case I missed something but this was it for the day. Oh yes, we saw a snake somewhere down the half way point. Never a dull moment!
