Went to the Rays game last night and watched a great game that ended with a batter hitting into a double play with two men left on base. Go Rays!
So I didn't run last night and I didn't run yesterday morning. The question in my mind was, should I run the 7 easy that I was supposed to run yesterday OR the 4 mile tempo that's on my Wednesday schedule. I opted for the tempo.
I've decided it's going to take a long time for me to learn how to run at certain paces. I feel like most of the time I'm running out of fear. I'm afraid if I run slow I'll race slow. I've got to slow down and train the numbers so that in the fall I can speed up and race the numbers.
I did a 1 mile warm up, 4 mile tempo, with a 1.2 mile cool down. The miles looked like this:
- 8:55
- 7:16
- 7:15
- 7:18
- 7:12
- 8.27
I showered off in the hose, jumped in the pool and just floated for a while. Got out and iced right calf from mid way up to just behind the knee. No pain yet just a tinge that says something needs attention.
