Boy, and I thought Monday's run was a bit too fast . . .
I felt really good today, and headed up my normal run, where I go north on Priest/Galvin parkway to McDowell, and then headed left on McDowell for about .15 miles to get to 2 miles before turning around. First mile was 7:39, second mile was 7:24. On the turnaround, the third mile was 6:57 and the last mile was 6:26, with a fairly strong surge the last 1/2 mile. Average pace of 7:07/mile. My calves did not tighten up today, like they did on Monday. My legs felt fine the entire run, felt like my lungs had a bit of a hard time keeping up on the last 1/2 mile, but that is probably to be expected when I was dropping under 6:00 pace. I'm going to try to run tomorrow too - I ended up not running on Tuesday, because I did the plyometrics workout on P90X, and it trashed my legs. I did, however, still walk a couple miles on Tuesday. |
