Saturday's run did a little more damage than I thought. I strained my calf while hurtling the snow banks. It isn't horrible but it was talking to me during the entire run. Because of the warmer temps yesterday and freezing temps this morning the roads were very icy. Even though it felt like I was ice skating half the time, I decided to push the pace a little this morning. After warming up after 3 miles I ran the next 4 miles at 6:45/mile. I know that this is "junk mile" pace but I am starting to get tire of running the same pace all the time and didn't feel like the conditions were good enough for a true tempo run. Total Time: 1:03:00 (7:00/mile) |
