My first morning run! Time management forces me to be flexible with my workout schedule. I have some concerns about early morning running, such as cold muscles, darkness, and whether I will get to work on time. As a precaution I decide to make this an all-walk, no-run workout. I am doing dynamic stretching, but have no clear direction on how to do it. I like the progress I am seeing in the lengthening of my workouts and an increased number of steps on my pedometer. I get some good advice from an experienced runner and a coach about socks, which will help with my foot pain. I wear compression socks because I have had cellulitis in the past, but those socks are too thin and I need to add another layer. The trail is quiet at this early hour, but there are still several runners getting their early road work in. I feel a twinge in a gluteal muscle, one of those little aches and pains that I can work through. I hope for 9000 steps for the day, but eventually fall short of that.
