Today I ran another two miles. I started out feeling kinda crappy, wondering for the first mile "why in the world am I doing this?" But I followed the cardinal rule: You MUST run at least 10 minutes before deciding whether or not to keep running. So after the first 10 minutes, I noticed that I had already run my first mile! Sweet! (My goal is to maintain 10 minute miles).
So I continued and ran another mile. I felt really good during that second mile. When I got home I took protein powder in milk, so we'll see tomorrow if I'm still getting any Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. I did have some muscle soreness when I got home that lasted for about two hours; that would be attributed to lactic acid. Nothing I can do about that except increase my lactic threshold, which I will be working on after the 5K in December.
Also noticing some pain in the muscles that suppinate the foot, and also in the muscles that dorsiflex the foot.
Mile splits: 10:15, 10:40. Temp: 54 degrees and sunny. Clothing: Long sleeve T-shirt, shorts, cotton socks. Also started with a running jacket, which got removed after the first 90 seconds of running and tied around my waist. The jacket went on after the run and during the five minute walk home. Pre-run beverage: water. Post run: Protein powder and milk.
