Started off the new year with a progression run, modifying an old course slightly. Up Burnham to Free Ferry, west to Rogers, down Rogers under the freeway to 66th, up 66th to FF, and back home. Comes out to just under 7. Hudson called for a 7 miler with a one-mile progression this week, so that's almost what I did. The progression was about 1.3 though; not quite to MP, but down in the mid-8s. This sucker was one hilly route, so I think I got more value than just a routine 7. Leg was a little bothersome early; later just sore glutes from the hills.
It occurred to me that I would like to average about 7 miles a day all year, so this is a good start. That would get me over 2500 again, maybe 2600. Now if I can get my sleeping pattern straightened out... |
