Went a bit shorter today, cuz was a bit more tired during the workday than I would have liked. SO, decided to stretch my legs a bit to make it really count and also to try to get out of my slog-fest that I have been enjoying (my REALLY slow recovery miles...)
It seemed like it was 70 today (car said 67, but not quite sure what the official weather was. The track was drenched with snow melt, so running faster than a stride sent a shivering sprinkle of water up my backside with each step. With sloshing shoes, I realized that I was not going to get in mile repeats today (I have to be careful how long my feet remain wet, as the foot skin still has a nasty habit of just sloughing away when immersed for too long...sigh...) It's always surreal to be running in 70 degree weather and yet still have snow on either side...
W/u stretches/drill/strides x 2
4 x 200m @ 5k pace with 100m jog rest (6:21, 6:30, 6:45, 6:46) so quite a bit slow...
400m jog
5 minutes at 10k pace (6:37)
400m jog
4 x 300m @ 5k pace with 100m jog (6:00, 5:45, 5:52, 5:47)
2 mile cool down
Kinda of a messy worko out, both water wise and pace wise, but just needed to stretch the legs a bit...
Met with the mentors for the half marathon Group that I will be coaching this Spring leading up to the Napa Valley Half Marathon in July. Incredible energy!! So very excited about this years trip. (Just too bad that I never get to actually race this course as it is FAST!!!--last year I ran 23 miles over the course while pacing different participants.) Good Times! race is sold out, so the only way to get in now is...
