My legs felt like lead this morning. Perhaps it was the 14 ozs of steak I had for dinner last night. Oh, it was sooooo good. It was mostly the calves at the start, but by the end the tightness had switched to the quads. I really wanted to quit after one mile. Oh well. At least I got it in.

Not a bad run this morning. I had to adjust the 2-mile route because while I don't mind ending my run on a somewhat busy street, I had no intention of doing so with Rachel. Downside was that I ended up adding an extra hill to the route. :( I felt really tired after the first mile, but managed to keep things trucking for the second. I'm still able to maintain negative splits, which is good. No real pain to report, save some serious coughing when I was done.
Oh, and a little bit of nausea as well. Before the run I drank a glass of water and another glass of OJ. I don't think the latter sat in my stomach so well.

Well, off to start another year. No goals, just some consistent running. I'll stick with these "easy" 2-mile runs for a bit until they are, in fact, feeling easy. Another change from last year is that most of my runs will be with the stroller, which definitely explains why I only ran at a 10:15/mi pace. *ahem*
Right foot and ankle were quite tender getting going, but weren't so bad in the second mile. My hips also felt a bit odd. Just getting back into things, I suppose.
