Easy run

Today I ran an easy five miles at lunch. The first couple of minutes of the run were painful due to a strained muscle in my lower abdomen and groin area, but overall the run went well. Alternating ice and heat should help it get better. Plus I'll need to continue to run easy and warmup well before each run.

I finished today's run with an average pace of exactly 8:00 minutes/mile. I didn't push the pace or try to run too easy. I just ran with a natural gait. If tomorrow's ten mile run and Sunday's fifteen mile run go well, I'll feel like I'm basically back to where I was before donating blood.
