I was happy that Dora was going to join me on my recovery run, thinking that company would help ease any discomfort. Well, I ended up just happy for her company! Besides an initial twinge of the IT band, I felt great!!!
We ran a mixture of neighborhood roads and trails. Almost 3.5 miles were at a fairly respectable 9:15/mile. We did have a stretch of really mucky trail where we were slowly picking and choosing our footsteps. It made the other miles look very slow.
Dora introduced me to a bunch of small trail sections that can make up a pretty good run. The chance meeting with her on a run turned into a win-win situation for me. I get great company and learn new trails/routes each time!
She needed to meet her daughter to get a prom dress : ) ! It made for a perfect length recovery run for me. I got in slightly over 5 miles and was very happy with how all the parts felt. Knock on wood!
