Objective: slow & easy (still recovering) Weather: mid 30s, cloudy Core & pushups
It was great to get outside and move, though the legs are pretty dead. My pace was in the 12's and 11's most of the time. I spent a good deal of the run thinking about my next training cycle and what training elements I want to include (ie I want it all, lol): long runs, tempo runs, mile repeats, hill sprints, butt kick drills, strides, progression runs, Yasso 800's, MP long runs... What did I leave out? Carolyn - I forgot to answer your question about the voice recorder. I wouldn't dream of bringing it on a race. All the important stuff gets burned into your brain anyway. I only forgot one funny story, about some "on course entertainment:" Some time in the first half of the race a guy came running in the opposite direction wearing nothing but his shoes and a pair of red bikini underwear. I was running with a bunch of women at that point and they were all whooping and cracking up. And BTW, I am starting over with the pushup program. I don't think I've lost that much, but I believe part of my improvement was from working faster (momentum) and not going deep enough. I want to do this right. :)
