7 miles Easy in 55:45 (7:58/mi, avg HR 153). Nice and easy today. Near freezing temps made the run slick at best and traction was an issue in several spots. Road in sun == good. Road in shade == bad. My piriformis stretching has evidently aggravated it, but not bad enough to terminate the run. Despite some moderate discomfort early on, after a few miles things loosened up enough to fade to just minor. I'll keep a close eye on things, but hope that a lower-mileage week and stretching will help resolve this issue. Brooks Trance - 324.5 miles. |
