Another five mile run today in about 35 minutes where I focused on keeping my cadence nice and high. It was much cooler today compared to yesterday's run when I basically did the same five mile course. My heart rate was lower than yesterday and my pace was quicker, but I think that was more due to temperature. My body is feeling ok. More or less, it's status quo right now-- same slight discomfort on my right side that still feels somewhat manageable at this point. For the first few minutes I can't feel it at all but it pops up around a mile in and stays pretty steady through the rest of the run. I'm curious to know how it'll react when I increase my mileage or speed. No real point in thinking about that right now though. I'm just happy to be out there putting some reasonable mileage in.
I need to keep working on getting my real running legs under me. It's nice that now I've established some kind of baseline on which to build. I think the next step will be to hit some 6-7 mile runs in the coming weeks.
