AM: (10.5, 1:30:00 -- cool, not planned!). I think this might have been closer to 11 miles, but I am not sure. 27:20wu/29:18cd, 6`5`4`3`2`1` w/2` recovery (started at 1/2 marathon pace and got down to about 3K pace). I was thinking about going to the track for this -- since it is the only flat place around, but then I thought "hills are good, just run by feel, it is good for you!!" - so I convinced myself to just run on the roads. My last 2` recovery was a little longer than 2` because I had to stop and let a herd of about 12 deer pass in front of me!! Felt awesome! I got home at 11 or so last night - I ended up going to the off-campus lab site (~ 25 miles from the main campus) yesterday to help collate and create pdf files for the grant (it was mailed off this morning) -- it was a late late night for me. Plus I got a speeding ticket (and I did not have my insurance card on me, so I got a ticket for that too) drat. Anyway, I slept in until 7:30 this morning and did not get out the door until nearly 9:30. But it was a wonderful temperature today for a hard run (65F). PM: easy 4. Happy Thursday bloggers! |
