inspired by yelena, i made my exploratory run today to find a good route. it wasn't bad, thanks to mapmyrun (usually these things are slow and meandering). did 3.8miles in 33min. under 9min mile pace without any pain. well, at least without any pushing pain. i did get some lower back stiffness from the cold, and my knees were stiff too, but not anything bad. the whole run is on concrete. not much i can do about that, i think, unless i want to start doing loops around mudchute park.

i'm surprised i managed the distance and the pace without any cardiovascular or leg fatigue...i haven't done a long run in a long time. i guess maybe frisbee is keeping me in ok shape after all.
