I felt good enough to try a little speed session so I showed up for the workout with the Black Sheep. We met at Sugarhouse park, warmed up for one loop. Then we did 1 minute on/1 minute off for another loop. My little pelvis issue was nagging at me, but it seemed the more I ran the better it felt. We moved over to the Highland track after the second loop. We ran 6 x 800, with the goal to pick up the pace a bit in the second lap. I ran these with Josh Steffen, who is coming off an awesome run at the Canyonlands Half Marathon (1:16:40, finishing 8th overall). Times were modest but consistent: 2:52/2:52/2:50/2:50/2:49/2:48. Then one mile to cool down. I found that concentrating on my form and keeping my pelvis tilted forward and my alignment centered seemed to help a lot; "like a needle wrapped in cotton," as the ChiRunning advice goes. This afternoon I have an appt. with a chiro.
