4 miles in 30:55 (7:45 pace again). I never checked the splits and just ran by feel. Amazingly, my last 5 runs since the injury have been within :01 of each other. I guess the body likes the pace. It was dark last night when I ran and I had eaten about 1 hour before. I thought that I was running faster than that pace. I always feel that way at night. I will take a planned day off tomorrow. I feel really good right now, but don't want to get too excited. Afterall, I am recovering from two stress fractures. My question, how much is too much, too soon?
Dog update: She is back to normal and is on two different antibiotics. Perhaps, she hasn't been feeling well for several months. We were somewhat busy (new baby) and probably didn't notice. I did notice that she was sleeping more, but dismissed it as her getting older. She seems spunky these days. We have returned to regular walks, etc. |
