Thoughts:
I had a really great run this morning!  Something I did different was skipping my 5 minutes of warm up walking between 3.1 and 3.5.  I just wanted my run to start and didn't feel like easing into it.  I did stretch a little before, and really don't think it mattered that I didn't have that 5 minutes of walking.  I though about how people who run races don't do a few minutes of walking before starting their run, so why do I always start out like this?  I know I'm going to be sore later today, so I took an advil so hopefully it won't be so bad.  I haven't run 5 miles in months.  I also made plans for soon after my run, so I can't spend the whole day feeling tired and exhausted.  I feel great.  If I'm feeling good enough, there's going to be another 5 miles tomorrow morning!
