I felt better today than I thought I would. I still have dead legs, and my left hip is still tight, but I didn't feel like I was going to fall apart any second. So, that's an improvement!
I met Devra and Karla at Murray High to run Devra's track workout with her. She is racing Saturday, so had a short workout of 2 800's at 2:45, followed by 2 400's at 80, with 3 minutes recovery between the 800's, and 1:30 recovery between the 400's.
We warmed up with a 3 mile run through Murray Park. After a few strides we began the workout. We ran 2:45 for the first 800, jogged 400 meters, and then ran 2:43 for the second 800. After anonther 400 jog we ran 77 for the first 400, and 78 for the last 400. I felt pretty good all things considered.
I needed more mileage, so we headed back over to Murray Park and ran 10 x 1 minute on 1 minute off, followed by a mile and a half cool down. That gave us 10.35 for the day.
I'm glad I made it through today's workout, and I am even happier that now I get 2 days of recovery before Saturday's race! |
