Good club run today with a decent turnout. Weather looked horrible but was actually nice enough for just a short sleeve shirt. Ran Washington Fields loop clockwise. Felt sluggish to start but got going around mile 3 or so. We ran a good 7:10 pace and felt great till the end coming up from the river to the store. Too much uphill! But it was good for me so I will deal with it. Didn't hit quite as many miles this week as I wanted to, but within a couple so not bad either. I can be patient! This week I recovered very quickly and had had much less soreness on my daily runs. I think the past few weeks of mileage increase wore on my body but my body finally decided that it's not so bad. Shooting for just over 50 miles next week...
I think I will try to throw in a couple of two-a-days next week, so that I can keep the weekday runs to 7 or 8 with a few 3-5 milers thrown in on the two run days. Any comments or suggestions? |
