For my second post-flu run I decided to stick to another 5K and follow the same route as before, allowing for easy comparison.
I was encourages early with the hip feeling better after avoiding sleeping on my right side for several nights. It was quite warm again and buggy (one flew directly into my mouth and banged into the back of my throat. I expelled it with impressive vigor and precision) but I pressed on and ended with a pace of 5:15/km, a bit slow for a 5K but a solid eight seconds better than Tuesday’s effort, a solid showing that I am on the mend and all that.
Bonus: My shoe laces stayed tied.
Other bonus: no geese hissed at me. This has happened twice recently.
My next run will likely be Sunday. Here’s to it being hip in a good way.
