I walked 0.25 miles as a warm-up at the Capital HS track, then I jogged 2.5 miles before stopping due to a relatively minor strain in my left calf (so frustrating)! My first mile was at a pace of 8:15 min/mile, my second mile was at a pace of 8:45 min/mile, and my next 2 laps were at a pace of a 9:00 min/mile. The temperature outside was 100 degrees, and on the black surfaced track probably 105-110 degrees, so the heat definitely wore me down after the first mile, and may have contributed to the strained feeling in my left calf. I then walked 2.25 miles so that my total distance today was 5 miles. |
