The group met today at the 123rd So. trailhead of the Jordan River Parkway. I got there about 10 minutes before 5:45 just to do a little warm-up. My main goal today was to stay relaxed, to not tense up and get tight. When I do tense up is when I really don't enjoy running. So we ran the big hill there about 4 times. Debbie and I decided not to do the full recovery, and just run it on our own. I ran up the hill feeling as untense as I ever have, and it was pretty enjoyable. I actually enjoyed running today!! Newsflash!! However, after the hills I did feel quite sick, so that tells me I'm still a little out of whack. Because of the sick feeling, I took Part B fairly easy, not running the entire length of the street, not recovering fully on the street. I think I need to wait until I feel better before I hit speedwork hard. Anyway, all in all it was an enjoyable morning. And pretty warm too.
PM--3 mile recovery run on the canal road. It was quite windy, worse than yesterday. I just tried to not fight the wind, and felt pretty good. This run was slow, but it felt good. |
