AM: (11 miles, 1:29:51). 30:31 wu + strides, 6 x 800 w/400 recovery, 27:49 cd. Yikes, I could not find the right pace for anything ... I am rusty rusty, splits: 3:28, 3:23, 3:25, 3:24, 3:20, 3:23, my recovery averaged in the 2:20s. I was supposed to be running 5K effort -- this was a "fitness check". Theoretically, I should have been running 6:37 pace (3:18 for the 800), but Greg knows that I am unlikely in shape to be running a good 5K (since I haven't raced or trained for a 5K in nearly 7 years!!) - I was hoping to be about 6:45 average -- and I came pretty close (6:46) so I guess it was a success - last year I did 5 x 800 at 6:45 pace, and I was in much better shape (43:30 10K shape) ... however, I learned that my internal garmin needs some calibration. PM: I am not sure yet, I might run 4 miles easy, I might do an hour of pool running -- I have both sets of workout clothes here at work and I will choose later. We have a faculty candidate in town interviewing and I have to take him to dinner tonight, so it depends on which one I have time for -- I would really like to do the pool running (burns more calories and will be better for my tired legs).
