Runner’s diary, Monday

I woke up early for a change today — lately it has been a bear getting out of bed. But that didn’t help with the run. Generally, I get up and do what needs to be done, make lunch for work, get the gym clothes together, and hit the road at about 9 a.m. And that’s what I did. And I did get in four miles, but they were four difficult and painful miles.

Several reasons, all related: My legs were still tight from Friday’s workout, which was compounded by cutting the lawn and using the weed wacker yesterday. And, perhaps most importantly, I had concert legs — two hours of standing at The Police show at PNC Bank Arts Center (more in another post).

But I’m not complaining. Much.

Music: a mix
