6 miles today, 4 at MP. I didn't get enough sleep last night, so I was kind of tired and it took me a little bit to get going. But after I warmed up, I decided it would be a good idea to run some MP miles. I decided I wanted to do 4 today instead of 3. Ran the same course as Tuesday, but I was able to control my MPmiles a bit better. Don't have the splits, but I know they were something like 7:31, 7:23, 7:30 and 7:24. Cooled down for my last mile, then stretched out. Legs are still feeling good. I was starting to labor a bit on my breathing on the last MP mile - I was fighting a pretty good headwind the 3rd mile and that took something out of me. But I pushed through, and felt good about this run. Nice easy run for tomorrow, and then we will see how Saturday will go. I was thinking I would do 15-16 miles, but will have to see. This will be my last higher mileage week - then I will be starting my taper for St. George. |
