I ran 3 miles today with a time of 27:00.

Today was an interesting run. In general, I felt fine, especially at the beginning. I'm also thrilled that I'm running slow and steady; I usually go out at about an 8 minute a mile pace and end with a much faster time but exhausted. My legs, especially my quads, felt tight throughout the whole run, which compromised my form a bit.

One thing I should note here is that I have very good running form due to the drilling I got in my high school cross country team. I don't pronate, my arms swing low, and I have very good posture (way better posture than I do during the day).

The biggest problem today was again sweating. It got really bad today, to the point where I almost had to stop to rub my eyes. I did drink a ton more water than I usually do, as well as eating 100% healthy (seriously, this was an A+ day in terms of nutrition), but the sweat was almost prohibitive today. I may have to go the headband route; if it's still awful tomorrow, then I'll pick one up. Sigh...
