Distance: 4 miles
Time: unk
Pace: unk
Comments: Another limited effort. I got out the house and down the street before realizing I left my watch on the dresser. Instead of heading back to get it I just decided to do the run without the time. In fact, I thought it might be good just to aim for the distance and forget about the pace.
And it worked pretty well. I played around with my stride and footfall a bit but nothing really fancy. My main goal was a nice easy run that got the heart rate going and the legs loose of the lethargy.
Although this pull-back week is clearly a good idea in terms of my physiology, I am a bit concerned about the mental aspect. I've really not been motivated at all to run recently and this is sort of playing into that.
