A.M. -- Roads in Donnelly - 15:44
Easy with Leo at 9 a.m. just to get him out. Very cold out this morning, but a good start to the day.
P.M. -- 2 mile wo, 4.5 mile steady run, 1.5 mile wd
At the Borah track. Windy and cold. Wanted to do something up-tempo after several days of sliding around and tip toeing on the icy roads. The only problem was my quads (my left in particular) were very sore and tight from skiing. So I opted for a marathon paced run, with a hard last half mile to see if 5:20 pace is about right for a 5k on New Year's Day. Splits were: 6:19, 6:17, 6:16, 6:17 and 2:40 for the last 800m. Felt pretty good, although my quad was a bit tight on the cooldown. |
