I had planned to run later in the day yesterday. But, Teren worked overtime last night, so I didn't make it. This morning I got up at 4:30 again to make sure I got my run in. Someday I will learn that the only way I get my run in is to get up early.
I ran on the treadmill again. I warmed up 2 miles, and then ran a 6 mile tempo. I was happy to get six in this week. Of course, I should have been pretty fresh. I started at 10.0 mph, and increased every 5 minutes. The last mile I increased every .25 miles. I finished at 5:33 pace. My splits were: 6:05, 5:55, 5:50, 5:47, 5:43, and 5:37, for a total time of 35:02. The last five minutes were pretty tough. I cooled down ten minutes, and then had to stop because my stomach started giving me problems.
I go to the doctor next Thursday to get my achilles examined. Hopefully, the doctor can offer some solutions for getting healthy.
