3.3 miles / 7:46 avg. from work. light rain, temp in the low 40's. still keeping the miles short, but i needed a little break today so i ran a 3 mile progression run.
easy 5 on the LPT. mostly sun, 45F. perfect running weather. still being cautious with the new "hole" in my mouth. the first few days it's important to let the blood clot form and keep it from popping out so as to avoid the dreaded "dry socket". no point in running far or hard the rest of the week. a positive from this (besides giving my body a break in mileage) is that i'm inclined to try and smooth out my stride to the extreme so i don't jolt my mouth too much while running.
4.5 miles from work. actually great weather for running. until i get these dental issues worked out, my daily runs are going to remain low and slow.after cutting back this last week, my legs and body are really feeling fresh and strong. all the little niggles have disappeared and i feel like i could run fast and far. hopefully this afternoons appointment with the dentist will move things along in the right direction. i miss my ten milers.
