AM - 10 Junction. Wasn't planning on driving today, but Laney has a program that I can make it to; so I drove to school. Which meant I could do all my miles from home. So I went out to the Junction in the drizzle. Foot is about the same. HR was up a little today. (Stratus grey 1039.85) afternoon - 12.5 Starbucks/4xMile. Ran 4 with the team. I had a few mile repeats this week and planned on them today, but wasn't sure how I would do. Then the rain made it so the Dirt Mile wasn't a viable option. So... I decided to go down to the River Trail and run them there. I drove down right after the team run and then did a two mile Tinman. Felts pretty easy to hit 5:55 and was happy about that. Planned on doing four mile repeats up and down the trail with a 3 minute active recover. S 1,3 would be up grade and 2,4 down. Went 5:21,:21,:22,:17. The first felt surprisingly strong. The second should have been faster with the downriver grade (not at it is a lot, but it should be helpful- but I remember when the Circle would do miles further down the trail,my up trail. Miles were often equal or better than the downs. Was getting a little tired by 3, but worked really hard on the second half to bring the time back to okay. Then the fourth was solid, but I kept cramping up in my left calf, so I couldn't push out of the step, just kind of shuffled along. Then a mile+ cool back to the Jeep. By this time it was raining pretty heavy and I was thoroughly soaked and pretty cold. S I was happy that the heater works in the old thing. (Ohana racers 694.25) |
