Good run this morning. I stared off with the Wal Mart loop for 4 easy miles (although uphill and into the wind made it harder than I expected. Pace was at 7:00/mile. I then turned south and ran the west-side frontage road 2 miles out and 2 miles back for a 4 mile tempo run. Splits were: Total Time was 22:21, with an average pace of 5:35. I then slowed down and ran 4 easy miles to cool off. I ran up the high school side of Lay Hill twice, then looped around the college and back home. Pretty good run, although for the last couple miles, my right leg (directly in the front, right below the knee cap) was feeling funny. At first it was a slightly sharp pain, but the last 3/4 mile it felt like jello. Strange. In 12 years of running, I've never had knee issues. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. Rotterdam (77) |
