Woo Hoo! My first post-ultra workout today. I had doubts about even trying a workout. It was a hot and humid 90 degrees. Went to Hawthorn Park and ran an easy warmup with some of the WVRR club who just ran Grandma's this past weekend. Then did 5x1000m on the trails, starting out slow, wondering what would come of it, but turned out pretty good (3:48,3:42,3:36,3:32,3:30). Then did a 2 mile cooldown w/ the calfs wanting to cramp up on me. Big boost here. Going to jump into some local 5Ks over the next few weeks including this weekend. Shooting for my first race as a Masters runner at the "Personal Best 5 Miler" in Indy on August 8th. |
