Ran today around 6:45 in a whopping 93 degree heat, which is nothing compared to the 93 degree heat in Austin. I keep running (ha ha) into this problem where I want to run when it cools off, but I start to feel a little hungry for dinner. So I'm forced to go run while it's still toasty outside. Then I run past a Japanese restaurant that normally smells good, but makes me a little ill while I'm running. Knees and ankle felt good today, but I seem to have a nagging muscle pain in the medial compartment of my right thigh. According to the acronym BeeF STeak SMells Great, I've decided that it could be the semi-membranosis or the gracilis. I learned that corny acronym in anatomy class and I'm happy to use it! The iPod shuffle selection was great today: The Shins, Patty Griffin, Paul Simon, The Doors, Buena Vista Social Club. It helps me when I get past 2 miles. For some reason I seem to have an upper limit of only running 3 miles (or close to that), and then I poop out. I think it's a mental block...but I burned 380 calories according to the GPS!
