I was up in Concord today, and I went exploring for a while on my run before heading over to the Contra Costa Canal trail and running a mini tempo run on my way back to my sister in law's house. The tempo was 19 minutes long, and I am calling it 3 miles, although I know that it was longer than that. I simply don't know how far it was. Total time was 1:30:46. I will call it 12 miles. Based on my HR that should be pretty close. I also tried running today without taking ibuprofen to see how my back would handle things. It wasn't horrible, and the pain was minor enough that I could run with the pain. However, it was not super comfortable, so I will keep taking ibuprofen for a few more days until the pain gets a little better |
