I decided to do a little tempo run this morning, my legs were feeling pretty good so I started with a 2 mile warm-up at an 8:37 pace and then eased into my tempo run. The first mile was a surprising 6:57(154) and my heart rate seemed to still have some give in it. After that I did a recovery mile, 8:33(143), I just wanted to see if my leg was okay I still worry about that so I wanted to be sure... I then eased into another tempo mile and that one was slightly slower but more like my marathon pace, or should I say my true marathon pace, 7:11(157). I seemed to be laboring just a bit more on that last mile although it was slightly up hill at the end, but my legs were getting tired anyway, I then did a two mile cool down to finish off the run... My goal after this run is to work up to a 3 mile tempo run with no recovery in between, I am pleased with this run but I have a lot of work to do but I feel I am on the right track. My main goal right now is to stay healthy, improve my speed, or at least get my speed back and then get some hills in. My average pace was 8:13 with my heart rate average at 146, total time was 57:53
I also did the standard crunches and push-ups using the rubber ball and alternating between sets of each...
See Ya Tomorrow.
