Runner’s diary

I meant to start this yesterday, when I ran four pretty good miles in about 37 minutes on the treadmill and then spent about 20 minutes doing some deep stretches. But I forgot.

Today I managed three miles on tight legs and a sore left knee. My right foot is bothering me and I got very little sleep last night because I was having difficulty concentrating on my writing (columns for the Post and the Progressive Populist due). But I got through the run in about 28 minutes listening to an interesting mix on my iPod Nano that included Roseanne Cash, Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris, Artbrut, Bob Dylan, Wilco — well, I think you get the picture.

Tommorrow? I’ll shoot for five miles and then hit the weights — but it will depend on how early I get up.
