Ok, that title was way too dramatic: this was a mere platelet donation. That is what I do instead of go to ball games.
The workout: 78 F, 74 percent at 8 am (too late) and my right knee was somewhat sore. So I decided to run 3 miles (5K) and try to put some effort into the final mile, then walk 3 more after stretching the glute. Yeah, the glute started to hurt 2 miles into it but I focused on posture and that got me through without much pain.
I wore my old 4’th of July shirt to remind myself that eventually, the races will come back.
As you can see, I gave more effort in mile 2 and even more in mile 3. And, well, a 10:17 mile was WORK in this heat. Good Lord. My body needs more practice at putting forth effort.
The walk started down Moss and then I wandered all over the place.
Yeah, I wore my Chiefs shirt.
Ah…
