A.M. 4 miles in 7:53 pace My left achilles has been a little tight for about a week now and is not getting better fast enough, so I scheduled an appointment to get some ART done on it tomorrow. That should be fun. P.M. Met my team at Potts Field for some intervals on the Boulder Creek Path 20 minute warm up, stretching, strides 3 X Mile in 10K pace (I probably went a little too hard) My watch is usually pretty accurate at measuring distance but tonight it seemed to be off. My splits based on the Creek Path mile markers were 5:41, 5:32, 5:35 but my watch says I ran shorter than a mile each time with my paces being 5:47, 5:37, 5:45. Regardless of which one is more accurate, I felt great, which was confidence building. I think I'll shoot for 5:50 pace in the Bolder Boulder, which will put me at a low 36 minute time. There were a TON of runners out on the Creek Path tonight. I could almost read their minds..."Uh oh, the Bolder Boulder is only 6 days away...guess I better go running!" |
