LM warmup (10 reps), 12 miles in 1:27:49, 7:19/mi, HR 160, w/ last 6 miles moderate in 7:29 (up), 6:52 (rolling), 6:24 (down), 6:25 (down), 6:24 (down), and 6:21 (down). 1 miles walk w/ dogs, PU/SU/Leg Abduction ladder (7/7/4) & stretching. Left shin and arch feeling better after icing and stretching yesterday, so more today. Not very sound sleep last night, so I was tired for this run. Big difference between this week's moderate miles on hilly terrain versus last week's moderate miles on flat terrain. Last week miles average 6:40-6:50/mi with HRs in the 160-162 range, where this week's moderate miles were 40 sec/mi slower on the uphill, the the slow end on the rolling, and only about 15 sec/mi faster on the downhill with HRs in the 165-172 range. Yikes. At least I got the miles in during the somewhat windy but dry weather before the really windy weather with the rains came. Am I crazy for having this foolish notion in the back of my admittedly tiny brain that it might be a good idea to try the Mt. Si Ultra 50 miler 2 weeks after the YRCMarathon?
