Spent all of last week on vacation and missed four runs, but it was one of those good-to-get-away-from-it deals. And probably good for recovery, too. I thought about running Sunday, my first day back, but decided to extend the vacation with one more day of inactivity. Good choice. Plus it was Father's Day.
Today I had an early call, and then my 8:30 stood me up, and I decided to get out before the day heated up. It was only 75 degrees at that point, but high humidity. I figured that was better than 91 degrees with high humidity. It was actually a good first run after the trip. I ran my 6 miles with a short walk break at miles 4 and 5, but no break going up the big hill. Also, I went without iPod, just enjoying the nice day. At times it was a struggle to maintain posture, being out of practice and all, but I kept telling myself to "run with your butt." That helped me engage the glutes and improve posture. It's not the best mantra in the world, but at least for today it worked.
