15 K today

What a great run this morning.  I ran 15 kilometers and felt pretty good the whole way through.  I did notice my left knee had a little pain during the middle of the run, so I am gonna have to keep tabs on that and see how it progresses.  During my shorter runs it doesn't bother me at all.  So I will have to see how it is during the next long run.  The weather was really cloudy and the air was a little crisper, so that part of the run was awesome.  Perfect running weather where I didn't feel like buckets of sweat dripping off of me.

I also went for 7 kilometer run yesterday, but didn't write anything on the blog.  I have had a cold since Wednesday and I just really relaxed yesterday after my run.  Even though I had a cold, I still felt great running.  Like, I had all my energy, and mentally I felt fine.  My throat was just scratchy and I had a little cough. other than that, I felt fine.  Except Friday night, because I basically lost my voice on Friday from teaching.

I did notice today I got a lot more looks from people today than usual.  I kept wondering, "why are they looking at me?!"  Then it hit me!  I lip-sync when I run.  I mean, I just don't lip-sync, I go all out with it, like a drag queen running a marathon.  While I was running today, I thought about my lip-syncing, and I figured this is a good thing to do while running.  When running, you want to be able carry on a conversation.  You don't want to be out of breath too much.  Having said that, I guess I don't lip-sync, as much as I sing softly.  Doing this has really helped my breath control while running.  I hope to see more people lip-syncing while they are out for their runs!

Follow my run!
