afternoon 5 Ran the mall-extended run from PVHS. It was a windy day and I knew that would mess with my workout. Warmed up a mile in 7:00 ish and then hit the next three at or just under 6:30. With the wind helping it was pretty easy. The fifth mile was uphill and into a hard wind, so I just ran it on in at about 7:15. evening 4 Ran the WarmSprings run. Worried at first that I wouldn't hit the 6:30 ave. I am now training for on "easy runs". At first the 6:30 guy built a few hundred foot lead as I warmed up, but through mile 2 and 3 I caught him and put a few hundred feet lead on him and then just kept it to maintain a 6:30 pace. Finished averaging 6:24. Right in the neighborhood of where I want to be. My ankle is still giving me a little trouble, and a new pain came up from my mile repeats - a little bit of tenderness on the muscle area of my right shin. I've had this before and it iced down pretty good each time. But yesterday it hanged on a little. So I will watch it for a little while. W - 152 RHR - 38 |
