Legs got very tight today

Today's run of 4.5 miles was cut down to 2.4. My legs were getting tight, and I had to take quite a few walk breaks. There are a few reasons that might have helped me cut my mileage... I was running in 80'F weather in the afternoon, instead of early in the mrning. Also, I was listening to a podcast, Buzz Out Loud, my favorite technology podcast, while I ran.

It's strange, but I think when I listen to my iPod while I run, I don't run as well. Maybe it's because I'm expecting to zone out, and I don't, or I run faster because my mind's somewhere else, I don't know.

The one reason that might make actual sense would be, because I did the 20-mile Tour de Carmel last Saturday.

I hope my legs feel better to get in some decent training before my first 10-K this Saturday.
