Paula called and canceled because she had sick kids and I was so tempted to get back in bed because I hate being alone in the dark. But I was brave and went out and actually had a good run. I ran the "big block" and I could tell my legs were tired going up the hill but not horrible. I changed the route a bit from our usual to give me more mileage and then I received the benefit of having the last 1.5 down hill - hence 1 fast aided mile.
Met up with the BBK for hill repeats this morning. We had a good warm up and a slow pace and then did 4 repeats up the Glenmore hill. We then did an quick paced rest and then 3 more repeats, back up the other hill and to our cars. I was pretty nervous about how I would feel, but I ended up feeling really good and enjoyed the work out.
Met Paula this morning for a recovery run. We had a good recovery pace and enjoyed catching up with her. It was foggy this morning and the extra humidity made it even colder. I do need more sleep because I was exhausted afterwards.
Met up with the BBK today. We ran a 3 mile warm up and then did 3 sets of 2 miles each. It was an okay workout, I just struggled today. Now I have a horrible stomach ache - I can only attribute it to breathing this toxic air.
Ave Pace 8:32 (not counting the warm up, forgot to start the garmin)
Met up with Paula this morning for an easy run. My legs are completely thrashed and tired so I knew we had to take it really easy. Would have like a little more but I was back home and tired of breathing gunk. Legs need a massage and some scrapping.
Met Cheris, Julie, Dean, Kris and Allen for our SJ 1/2 marathon run. Great company! The first 8 miles had a lot of up hill and into the wind. Add the rain and it was a lot like SGM. Glad it is done. I felt really good until about 12.5 -13 and my hip hurts. It went away but more stretching is needed.
