I was oddly nervous about this run as it got closer to the time for me to leave the office, head downstairs and change into my running gear. I don't think I was jittery about my ability to do the run. Just like the first Saturday run, it was a 30-minute run. I've been doing that on the treadmill for a couple months, and have done longer.
I guess I'm never really going to be over feeling like the fat wall flower who doesn't fit in when it comes to new situations.
The run itself went really well. I again ran at what felt like a "normal" pace for me. I was trying to push myself and worked on getting my coming back a little faster than my pace going out (we ran 15 minutes out and 15 minutes back). The only pain, if you want to call it that, I've had from either this run or the first one is in my quads. They feel tight and I've been working on keeping them stretched out. I chalk it up to the squats my trainer has me doing during our weight lifting routine. I will definitely keep my eye on this to make sure I'm not risking an injury. If the tightness continues, I'll talk to one of the TNT coaches on Saturday to see if my stride is causing it. I do feel like I'm striding a little differently running outside compared to running on the treadmill.
