Trying Tuesday

August 24, 2004

Time: 6:30pm
weather: 15 degrees. humidity factor 3/10
Solitary run 2.5 loops of Jeanne Mance park: Mont-Royal to Park, Park to Duluth, Duluth to Esplanade, Esplanade to Mont-Royal

Down Rachel to LaFontaine park, two loops, back up to Rachel to St. Laurent. St. Laurent home
Duration 1:13
What I ate before: yogurt.
How I felt. Relaxed and anxious
Difficulty 7 on 10
Pace 6:30/km

Used ankle weights: 2.5lbs on each leg

Slowed the pace and it felt like how the final segment of my long runs feel.

Anything special? Two Jamaican guys referred to me as, "Girlie Man" cuz my my leg warmer looking ankle weights.

Concerns: Will I be able to continue using these weights without adversely affecting my training for subsequent days?
