I can't decide whether to call this an easy workout or a difficult distance run. I did 1 mile warmup then 2 miles marathon pace and 1 mile easy x4 then 1 more cooldown. I did this on an indoor track because of the heat (high of 95 and still 89 at 8pm). I don't know my paces because I didn't have my watch. I am pretty sure I went faster on the marathon bits than the workout last week that was basically this with tempo miles in place of the recovery miles. I wish it was still early and I could get a few more miles in today. I couldnt stand the indoor track anymore though. 14 miles on a track is only acceptable because the alternative is filling my shoes with sweat in the first 5 miles of any run outside. Tomorrow I will run 13-16 miles on trails. I need to make up for missing sunday. I was just too busy to run. But I did my presentation today at work so that is over with. However, my family still wants to spend lots of time with me as it is my last free summer in med school. So it will be difficult getting in my miles for the rest of the summer (next 4 weeks). Its funny that I have no problems getting any amount of running in during med school but I have problems getting my miles in during the summer. |
