8 miles in 7:22 pace YES!! Another pain-free run!!! 28 degrees and sunny this morning on the Big Dry Creek trail. Legs feel GREAT! I'm going to go for a "long run" tomorrow and take the pace a little easier. I think I'll do 12 miles. Then I'll go easy and short on Friday and meet my team for a workout on Saturday. I just need to resist pushing it too hard in the workout because I think the speed is what makes me tight more than the distance. Lots of hip/core exercises today and some foam roller work. My ART guy recommended that I just do 5 minutes at a time on the foam roller but do it frequently throughout the day so as to not fatigue the muscle too much in one session, but to consistently work it out a little at a time. My brother is flying in from Memphis to stay with us for a couple of nights while he interviews with a Dental practice in town. He is just finishing up his Dental residency this Spring and is planning on moving to Denver to get started with an established practice for a while before he decides where he wants to set up his own practice long term. I SOOO hope he decides to set up his own practice in Denver. It would be GREAT to have some family nearby. |
