Well I planned to do a 22-23 mile run today with a little tempo mixed in. But my left knee and hammy ached all last night and I slept horrible. Had the alarm set for 4:30 but at 3 a.m I turned it off and wasn't even going to go running today. Woke up at 6:45 and decided to limp out and get something in. Off running by 7:15 and it was around 60 F. A perfect calm, cool morning in the STG. During my warm up I decided on a 8 mile tempo down to Bloomington on the river trail and back. Just wanted to try and hit MP.
5.9 mile warm up north on River Road then around Morning side back up Riverside Dr and to the Dr.s free clinic to start the tempo.
8 out and back tempo from the Dr's free clinic down into Bloomington and a just across the Man-o-war bridge then back. 5:43 avg. 5:46, 5:43, 5:44, 5:43, 5:40, 5:38, 5:42, 5:48 just ran a smooth and controlled tempo on the trail. Nothing too hard or crazy and actually pretty good for considering how jacked I felt lying in bed before getting up this morning.
3.5 mile cool down from clinic back on River Road and around the backside of Jedora to the house. 75 F when I got home at 9:15 a.m. Hoping the weather stays nice today because we are taking our 4 employees out on the boat to Sandhollow and I really don't want to deal with wind.
