I was thinking about doing a small race this morning, but changed my mind. I think I could've hurt myself racing hard so close to last week's tough 1/2 mary. I've always used the formula- one day recovery for every mile raced. Well, at least no races for as many days; I think you can train hard again as long as you didn't completely flatten yourself in the race. I came close to flattening myself in the 1/2 mary due to my lack of training, so no races for a couple more weeks. Anne and I went to my sister-in-law's house for the afternoon. It's in farm country with lots of nice back roads to run on. My old nemesis the wind was there. 10.14 miles. 1:12:23. I picked it up on the way back with the wind at my back; a couple of 7:00 miles, a 6:50 and a 6:30 miles. Overall pace 7:08. 144 BPM. I'm starting to feel good again. |
