Did this one outside; going to try and do all of my runs outside, as the weather has been unseasonably non-rainy and sunny. Just did the run down to and around Green Lake twice, and back to the apartment. Started inexplicably slowing down on the second lap (no clue why, I wasn't remotely tired), but got out of that funk. Probably had something to do with the swim workout I did today; hard to get back in the pool after a month of taking it easy. 8.94 in 1:10:35, 7:53 pace. Green Lake laps of 25:40 and 25:22. Probably need to slow it down a little, especially over the last .25-.5 miles (which are they only uphill portions of the entire run), but it felt good. Legs are still tired and a little achey, but they're adjusting well to the increased mileage, nothing is getting worse, and I'm definitely feeling better. I think I'm going to try and avoid hills until I'm able to handle 60+ miles without a problem, as my knees were a little shell-shocked after the last couple weeks of long runs. |
