Easy miles today. The wind wasn't blowing this morning so the coolness was pleasant. I'm still looking forward to warmer days though. I can't wait to get back to the park and my boy is begging to go to the zoo. Lots to look forward to...if I could just believe it was coming.
1.75 warm-up and cool-down, 6x1mile with 1/4 mile slow between
?, 6:38, 6:55, 6:38, 6:49, 6:31
I forgot to push my lap button on the first repeat. I'm running this a good fifteen seconds slower then I was a month and a half ago. Back then I was running it faster at the beginning and then slowing down - now I'm
doing the opposite. The only real worry I have is that I might not be running as hard as I should. After having done the workout a couple of times in the past, it really started to scare me. Hopefully I'll get to that zen middle point in the next few times I do the workout.
I ran the same roads but in a little different direction just to beat the boredom - it was an easy run. I think 7 months is the longest I've ever run in a row - especially from the same location. I'm excited that I still have another couple months left in this stint. My daughter has a doctor's appointment tomorrow that will helpfully shed light on what my time schedule and possibility of running a marathon this summer will be. Hopefully everything goes just like I want it to.
I'm playing catch-up here. 1.5 mile warm-up and cool-down, 4 mile tempo at 6:43, more down-hill than up-hill. Still I think my first mile was significantly the slowest and it was downhill. I'm certainly playing it cautious these days.
Went to my daughter's Dr.'s appointment. No surgery this summer. That leaves the moving to KY schedule open. My head is running in a thousand different directions on when and how to move. I'm not sure yet how the provo marathon will pan out. I'm definitely in a "wish I could do everything" mode of mind right now.
I was sure that the marathon was out on this workout so I shammed and ran 16 instead of 18. I sure wish I had run 18. I'll remember that from now on - a good learning experience. This Saturday is 20 regardless. Hopefully I won't kill my legs too bad. And I've just got to get me an ipod that works to soothe the pain. I have an old one of my sister-in-law's that lasts for about 20 minutes after it gets fully charged. Such a bummer.
