5 a.m. run on Phoenix with Rose and Keith (Cindy didn't make it). Able to comfortably negative-split it, finishing with 9:21 average that didn't feel that fast. Distance 4.06. Probably a fish after work. Shower and nap first though.
Got in that fish, treadmill run with hills thrown in to spice things up (and because I've been short on hill work). Also did some weights before the run, working on the calves. Hoping a little extra strength will ward off the calf cramps. We'll see. Total of 5.31 miles in 50:00 even, 9.37 for the day. Both runs in the new Asics Speedstar shoes that arrived yesterday.
Not sure if I'll run tomorrow. That may depend on whether Cindy will be out for dawn patrol Thursday morning. I'm getting close to needing a day off, though. Have another new pair of shoes to try out, Kinvara 2s. Starting to wish I'd gone to 10s instead of 9.5, but maybe they'll stretch just a tad. |
