Flu (or cold?) is much better today. Sunday afternoon was the worst. Got the chills and ended up watching the Superbowl in two pairs of sweats and a ski hat. Towards the end of the game, I got really got so my fever must have broke. By Monday morning, my temperature was back to normal. I took Monday off to recover.
I've committed to be on a 12 hr run relay team (4 person). We need to average 7:12/mile to get 100 miles. We are going to try 6 mile legs. 1 lap is a mile so we could conceivably change runner every mile. I tried some 1/2 mile intervals with 15-20 seconds rest at this pace. My chest was still congested so I think it was a good test. I did 5 and then did a 3/4 mile interval for good measure. 1st couple were right at 7:12 pace and the rest at 7:00 minute pace. Felt really good. I had to force myself to ease up.
I'm going to try a practice 6 mile on the Delano Park course on Saturday as part of my long run. |
