Easy late morning run. (7.70 miles) Over Tonaquint to DC/ then towards River Road on the path for 3/4 mile and back tracked to DC then back to home on the path. My legs are still sore from Tuesday's run (quads). I couldn't really get them going (8:30 pace) Coming down Tonaquint I was struggling to get the legs rolling and was only hitting around 7:30 pace through that section...heavy legs!
I was considering running the Butch Cassidy 10K on Saturday and have decided not to. I need to get the legs feeling better and need to get the miles on them not race speed.
WOW! I just noticed that on my next run I will go over 600 miles for the year. Not a lot for most people taht are serious runners but for this beginner that started in July I feel good about that. I plan on keeping about a 30 mile average through most of the year with some bumps up before the Ogden Marathon and the St. George Marathon. I don't feel the need to do much more than that, I want to continue to enjoy the running while throwing in 2 marathons, 2-3 1/2 marathons and a few 5k and 10k's throughout the year. Keeping it fun with some challenging races hear and there to give me some purpose and meaing to the runs.
I would like to get a 5K under 21:00/ 10K under 43:00/ 1/2 marathon under 1:40 and a marathon under 3:30. That should be some pretty good goals for this 49 year old.
1.82 miles this evening around the neighborhood. Trying out my new landreth shoes trying 1/2 size larger (9 1/2) and wide width.
Had to get the 600 mark on my mileage.....couldn't wait til the morning to do it. |
