Running Chick

I ran tonight. 2.25 miles @ 10:36. I wanted to keep it short and sweet so as to not aggravate any healing that has taken place in the 11 days since I last ran. It went okay, but then the first two miles of my runs were always pretty okay. It's around 3.5 that things start to fall apart. Afterward, I iced and stretched and took ibuprofen. I have no idea how in the heck I'm going to complete a HM in 18 days.

I had much success with test saddle #2 this afternoon, a WTB Speed V Sport. My stock saddle would start to make me unhappy around 5 mile, the first test saddle lasted around 7 miles. Today, I did 21-ish comfortable, pain-free miles with no stopping for adjustments. It's been a long time since I've had a ride that didn't make me want to fling my saddle into the bushes and curse the cycling gods. In theory, I'm supposed to return the it this week, but I think I'll keep it through the weekend and see how it performs on a few more shorter rides and one 40-miler that I have planned for the weekend. I'm contemplating trying a few short runs this week, and if they work out okay, I'll try to hit a 10-12 miler on the weekend. We'll see...
