2 days later, and still pretty sore. My quads were obliterated. Next in line in order of soreness are the hip flexors, groin for some reason, hammys and shins. Guess I didn't ever run fast enoug to hurt the calves. I'm hoping to be able to jog a couple miles tomorrow, but we'll see. It's gonna have to be on the treadmill thanks to the winter storm. We have single-digit lows the next couple days, a lot of snow (for Texas) and windchills below zero! I'm really not equipped for all that.
Not that it really means anything but I compared my relative gender and age group placings to 2010 results when they had better, more typical conditions and those finishers were in the 3:21-3:22 range. Can't put too much stock in that though, but it is a nice sanity check.
So, thinking finally about goals and races for this year... Maintain 50+ mile weeks and very slowly work my way up to 60s. For this spring, I want to run a couple local 5Ks (inch closer to sub-20), the Capitol 10K in Austin if work allows (sub-43, it's a tough course), and either a half or a full at OKC (get below 1:35 or 3:20). This summer will be base-building - too hot to race much in TX. This fall, I would like to run either the half or full here in Abilene in October if they have it, and finally Houston in January 2012 where I hope I'm ready for a 3:10:59. Probably need to be injury-free all year to pull it all off, so that is a goal as well. |
