Seemed like a good morning for a hilly run. Ran from home up to Bountiful Blvd then back again. The pace going up was slow but it felt good. I never had the urge to stop while going up that I usually do. Coming down, I felt really good and was able to get into a comfortable flow.
It was very windy this morning. I drove to the LPT and ran the first 4 miles into the wind. I figured that I would rather put the extra work into the wind during the first half of the run. I kept the pace relatively easy because my legs are a little sore from the hilly run yesterday.
My legs felt very tight again this morning. I also was experiencing
some soreness in both of my tibias. While I was running there were a two birds doing what birds do in the spring that came an inch or two from crashing into my head.
I woke up in the middle of the night to do a little work. Was able to go back to sleep for a couple of hours but felt really yucky when I woke up. My plan was just to go 4 easy miles but as I got going, I felt a lot better so I extended the run a little. I kept the pace super easy.
Ran 4 miles at 7:30/mile pace before the club run. It was a pretty small group this morning because of of the L2L relay. Trevor was there so I new I would get a good work out for the first 2.5 miles. We ran 6:45/mile pace until he turned back at 2.5 miles. It was a lot of work and I just wasn't feeling it this morning. After he turned back, I backed off the pace and ran the rest at 7:30/mile pace. Wished I would have felt better this morning but it is nice that my bad runs are better than the good runs a few months ago.
