DISTANCE: almost 5. looked it up as 4.9 on mapmyrun.com
TIME: 7PM
Headed down "interior route" of ferndale to royal oak.
Had jen on the bike, and heated discussion made me run fast.
At about 25 minutes, I realized i was pushing it and my form was sloppy and I was hunched over. I asked myself, which is better - running fast and pushing it, and slopping down the street, or running comfortably and running with good form - so I decided to slow down to a more manageable pace for a bit so I could focus on running better. Jenny was my form manager as she biked along side me, admitting that I was hunched, and my hips were too far back for a while so I focused on keeping my hips forward and hitting on my forefoot for the rest of the run.
Still felt a little food in my belly, but run was great otherwise. Definitely worked hard, vs having a relaxing jog.
Still have to do some strength work to do tonight.
THOUGHTS: it really helps motivate me to know that every run I do, every day, will contribute in preparing me for the marathon!
