I ran my mailbox loop this morning, ran into Tyler S and we chatted for just a moment, and then I headed up to the mailboxes. IT band felt pretty good I didn't have to stop and stretch like last week and once I reached the mailboxes I ran a little ways up woodland hills drive and then back down. When I reached canal road I extended out to the old barn and then headed for home, I tried not to push the pace on the way down but I did have a 8:00 minute mile in there along with a 7:26 minute mile too. I'm pretty happy about the way it turned out and my IT band seemed to cooperate for the most part so that is a good sign. My average pace was 8:28 with my HR average at 145 topping out at 160, total time was 1:00:58, I hope I am on the tail end of this darn thing. I finished up with some strength training on my upper body on the Bowflex.
See ya tomorrow |
