Recovery Run Redux... outside!

Just finished my second recovery run of the week about an hour ago. I ran a really slow 10 minute / mile pace, which made for an enjoyable and easy run.  The only annoyance was a pretty brisk series of gusts I encountered.  IT band held up okay, but I felt the pain when I used the foam roller after the run.
Aside from wearing a normal tech shirt and nike shorts (i.e. warm weather running gear), the only thing new thing I did was drink Gatorade prior to the run (with a little bit afterwards).  Can't say that I noticed much difference on a 5k, but I'm sure Gatorade might be a good drink on longer runs.  Technically today's run was 4.99k... thank you, Runtastic.
