I was trying to be a nice wife and make sure that Teren had the time to get his workout in before he goes to work, so I got up at 4:30 to get mine in. I had originally planned to run 10 x 800, but I thought I would play it safe and try to keep my hip intact. I changed the workout to a fartlek workout. I warmed up 3 miles, and then ran 3 x 1-2-3-2-1, with 1-1-2-1-1 recovery. I ran in Valley Park.
The weather was beautiful this morning. I got to see the sunrise because I was up so early. It was pretty dark when I started, but the sun was shining by the time I finished. My body felt a bit tired when I started, but after the first couple of intervals, I began to feel better. That must mean I'm turning into a marathoner. I need four miles before I feel good. I was definitely tired by the end, and my hip started to get sore. But, I think it will stay in one piece. Saturday's long run didn't seem to make it any worse.
I cooled down a nice easy 2 miles through the park and back to my house.
I think that around 10:00 this morning, I will be ready for a nap.
