I ran 10 miles this morning in 1:16:39, running to Kimia's work to drop off Anita's shoe that she threw out of the stroller, followed by running to school. I was tempted to run something fast because I was feeling kind of antsy, but I want to be careful with my calf so I held back. I might run some "slow" speed work tomorrow (I know, it sounds funny) maybe just barely faster than 6:00 pace just to get moving a little quicker without really stressing myself too much. PM: I ran home in 1:09:08, which is 20 seconds slower than an 8 minute average pace per mile over 8.6 miles. I was running really slow because my calf just seemed a little weak tonight, and I didn't want to risk doing any damage. Things were fine running slow, and finally after 6+ miles I started to wake up a bit and I sped up a fair amount during the last couple miles. After how I felt running home I think I just need to hold off on speed work until my calf is feeling stronger (even if I get impatient). |
