AM: (4+ miles, 36:25). 18:15 out 18:10 back (uphill). I had an early morning meeting today so I ran easy this morning and moved my workout to the evening. I was a bit apprehensive about doing this, mainly because I am not used to running hard in the evening -- and I knew I would feel tighter after sitting all day. PM: (10.5 miles, 1:26:17). 6 x 1200 w/600 recovery. Goal pace was 5:18 (7:04 pace -- the slow end of the range since I am still so sore). 22:40 wu and then 5:18, 5:15, 5:15, 5:19, 5:16, 5:13 (the 5:19 was dodging two toddlers whose parents thought should play in lane 1) 15:34 cd. My quads were still a little sore today, but they felt much better (until the last few quarters!). I was quite suprised. They did not feel good mind you, but I think had I been more "fresh" and not coming off of such a hard week last week and this weekend I could been under 7:00 pace for all of them (range was 6:56 - 7:04). I am super sore again now though ... Happy Thursday bloggers!
