Ran easy today at 65-70% mhr for 8 mi. Went down to the Jordan river trail and then back up to home. 7-7:30/mi pace. PM-8mi 65-75% mhr after work to unwind. Wanted to run more but I need to take a recovery week in order to consolidate my fitness gains. Unbelievable how icy and uneven the trail is. Spring can not come soon enough! Really gorgeous day however especially upon being greeted by a troupe of ducks near the river. It is truly amazing to me even in the depths of winter how beautiful and resilient God's creatures are. |
