Running Again & Laying Flooring

I spent most of the late morning and afternoon laying self-adhesive floor tiles in my entry way and coat closet. Most of the necessary cuts were straightforward, but about 5 tiles required a ton of time to get cut properly. I'm proud to say that I didn't have to re-cut any of them. Woohoo! I still need to install the quarter-round, though. That's on the agenda for tomorrow.

Workout

Warm up: walk .44 mile
7:08 a.m. CT
Time: 33:48.5
Distance: 3.09 miles
Pace: 10:56
HR Max: 176
HR Ave: 160
Cool down walk: .44 mile
At start: 59, 87%, sunny, SSW@2.
At end: 67, 79%, sunny, WSW@4.

I didn't expect this run to come in under an 11:00 pace. I was just running comfortably without trying to press it. In fact, I'd intended to take it nice and easy. Maybe nice and easy is now sub-11:00, at least for 5k at any rate.

My ankle had a slight, dull ache in before and during the run. It didn't get any better or worse while running. I was careful about how I planted my feet when running. The sidewalks around here aren't renown for their smooth, flat, even surfaces. I've been on un-groomed hiking trails that are easier to traverse.

Food

Breakfast: blueberries, 1/2 large Fuji apple, 4 strawberries, 1 canned pear.
Lunch: another mongo-sized veggie salad: red cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, radish, carrot, bell pepper, onion, avocado, feta, 1 tbsp ground flaxseed, raspberry balsamic vinegar.
Supper: 1/2 acorn squash stuffed with pineapple, dried apricots, walnuts, and raisins; steamed collard greens with splash of raspberry balsamic vinegar.
Evening Snack: 1 canned pear & its juice.

I need to make another produce run. I sure wish I could find edamame in Princeton. Perhaps I'll have better luck in Evansville later this week.
