This was not a bad training run — actually, I fared better at this run than last week’s long run. My left knee, as usual, began to hurt (around mile 7, this time) but it wasn’t that painful that I needed to stop and walk. My right arch (which still has remnants from last weekend’s blister) was also beginning to hurt but I continued because I had put Body Glide on it and was confident that the product would do its work. 🙂
I did the weird 6 minute run/30 second walk interval and a full minute walk every 30 minutes but my arithmetic was off a few times during the run that I ended up missing a walk break or took an overdue walk break because I added the minutes incorrectly! LOL. It’s cool though — kept me entertained as I tried to recall when I needed to take my breaks! Hahaha. I think I’m just going to set the Garmin’s intervals so I don’t have to do the maths myself!
Oh, I took this run today (instead of the regular weekend run) because I’ll be busy this weekend — that and I have a 5K on Sunday! Ahhh. I haven’t done those in a while (about 5 years actually!)

My run reward — Jollibee‘s ChickenJoy with gravy over white rice. I added the salad for sh*ts and giggles 😉
