Last night was my first run as an official paid-for Mystic Runner. I have no idea what that means but considering these nice folks only charge $2 to run in their weekly 5k I felt better having paid for a membership. It only seems right.
I had an all right run. I didn't warm up and my legs were noticeably tight as I drove there straight from work and skipped my usual pre-run routine. I need to remember to watch that. I'm sure I'll get my routine established soon.
Something I'm trying to establish even sooner is to not start off too strong. I completely opened up too early and paid for it later. I lined up at the back of the pack (I'm shy!) and then pushed into a break in the middle that was closer to my normal pace. Had I lined up in a more reasonable spot, I wouldn't have felt the need to push so hard.
