AM - 6 Treadmill. After the glutton last night, I worried a bit about this run. But it was actually decent. Felt fine throughout - maybe even better than a usual Monday morning run. (Five Fingers 456.6)
afternoon - 10.5 4x1000. Warmed up (and cooled down) with 2450. Wasn't sure what to expect on 1000's. Haven't done really any speed since hurting my calf back in December (but I had some decent sets of 800's before that), and I am not really a fan of 1000's - especially by myself and on the track. But I tried to have a reasonable goal of 3:15 down to 3:10. First one felt good and relaxed and I hit a 3:11 (2 min recovery), so I pushed out a little stronger on the next one and hit 3:08. Still felt good and planned on doing 4 so I tried to repeat the same and hit a 3:07. for number 4 I figured it would as good a time as any to push a little more and although I tightened up a little on the last 400, I hit a 3:05. The best set of 1000's I have ever had. Ran relaxed and smooth (for the most part) and gained some confidence that maybe I am in decent shape. Ended with Molly's Mile pushing Laney like usual (when she doesn't run with me). (Ohana racers 488.75)
