echinacea made me run bit faster?!

Sep28201011 p.m.

Tuesday gym session - 3.1 miles (5k) treadmill run, 28:36, average pace 9:14

Having just recovered from headache/sore throat,I woke up this morning with another sore throat.
Took some echinacea herbal remedy this morning and that initially made me feel sick, but actually it did appear to help my throat!

Home from work and headed straight to gym (I like my food and often have dinner, wait few hours and then goto gym late!).

My change in routine appeared to help as I think that's one of the quickest 5k I've done!..or maybe the echinacea made me run bit faster?! Wink
Unfortunately my short legs & wee lungs don't aid particularly fast running!
I have endurance to run slowly for 13 miles without stopping but just cant appear to maintain a fast pace for very long.
How times have changed, was more of a sprinter back in my school days, than long distance!

Depending on how I feel and work commitments, I may try and get to gym again tomorrow...

Getting a bit excited about hearing the VLM ballot results...think will hear within the next week! eek!

Happy Running!Smile
