20lb Bag

I just got back from my Easter Sunday run. Which by the way, Happy Easter or Passover, whichever you celebrate. I cut down on the length just a bit, I ran 2.5 miles instead of 3, because I had a 20 pound dumbbell in my bag.

The run was difficult. My legs started to hurt pretty quickly and I was running a noticeable amount slower. When I was attacking the few hills along the run my legs felt really bad and I could only think of two things. First, simply, "Tough Patch." Second, "Damn, I gotta squat more."

The good news about the run is that I finished. Another positive note is that my legs recovered pretty quickly. By time I sat down to right this my legs were feeling good. Also, my heart rate has recovered even faster. Thus far I'm satisfied with my performance because of my recovery rate.

If you have any ideas or words to compel me, please be heard.
