12.3 mile run this morning. Regular old overpass loop. I woke up drained with a belly full of junk food from the weekend of traveling. However I pushed myself out the door and once the run was under way I felt pretty good. Not really any soreness from the race on Saturday. Glad to get the week going and I'll try to hang on for some good mileage this week. 7:15 min mile avg. (Landreth 81.7 ) 8 mile run this evening. Worked hard all day out in the dusty, blowing dirt. I came home pretty drained and just about packed it in for the day. But I managed out the door and just told myself to keep it very easy and just get it done. About a half mile into the run I started to feel great, almost too good. I didn't have any kind of watch or gps on so I'm not sure what was going on... but I made my way up to the watertank and then down around the industrial loop. I felt amazing and kept trying to hold myself back, but just felt like I was floating. My form was the best it's been all year and everything else was clicking like a clock. I ended up racing a guy on a bike the last 1.3 and it was basically a photo finish. So most likely I'll pay the price the rest of the week for running a mini tempo type run on Monday afternoon but for today it felt good. (Blue Cumulus 260.4) |
