Good run this afternoon, even though it was pretty warm when I started at 3:30. I think it was close to 80. Anyway Sunny drove me out to Anderson Junction and I did a two mile warm-up (average 7:26) then I decided I would try a 4 mile tempo run, just to see how much fitness I've lost since being slowed down with this calf injury the last month. The last time I did this workout was on Feb 2, and my splits went 1-6:15 2-6:24 3-6:16 4-5:53 24:50 overall with a 6:13 average Today I was pretty happy with my splits considering the heat, coming off an injury, and dealing with a headwind 1-5:53 2-6:10 was ready to stop here, but figured I could go one more mile
3- 6:23 actually felt better right at the end so decided to finish and do one more mile 4-5:55 24:22 overall 6:06 average Two miles easy home. Overall good workout and nice to see where I'm at. I still have a long way to go. I wish I could have avoided the calf injury and been in better shape and preparing for the Ogden Marathon, however I think I will just have to focus on the Deseret News Marathon. Stratus-88 |
