Basic lake run again, with a couple small strides tossed in. Love the feel of those. Legs were toast because of spinning earlier, and today (Wed.), quads are a little tight from all the action. Oh well, time to hydrate, etc.! Ankles are getting better as my stride improves, which is fantastic, though I need to stop having stimulants (read: coffee) before I run... screws up the heart rate examination (though I'm getting a good feel for what aerobic is on my own). Everything is still on track for six runs this week, and another mileage up next week. Think I'm going to throw a couple miles at goal-half-marathon pace for the Mercer Island half on the 21st; of course, with my goal only being sub-1:34:20 (breaking a soft PR), it shouldn't be too hard of a task. All's good in running and life! Let's hope it continues! |
