I did one of my pre-Boston hill routes today at lunch. I am loving the cool, rainy weather. It's so fun to run in drizzly, lush spring rain when you're only doing 6 easy miles (as opposed to intervals or a long run). I totally enjoyed being outside. My run felt really good and I was pleased with the effortless sub 9's. Mile 1.7 and mile 2 were from the bottom of the Provo Temple Hill up a 1.3 miles into the mouth of Rock Canyon. I love doing that 1.3 up hill. It's easier on my body than speed running, and gives me a rockin' aerobic challenge. I could have pushed the pace up the hill, but I'm still being nice to myself post marathon. Those hill repeats though, I did a month ago have left me with a bid of tendonitis just above my achilles. My newest form of tendonitis. I've had it everywhere but there (priformis, knee, elbow). I'm going to use my Arnica ointment, and start again with my flax/omega-3/fish oil regime. Loving these cool rainy Spring afternoon runs! |
