Still a little stiff after last night's 6-miler/crosstraining session, but the schedule said LT, so LT it was. LT on the TM, of course; that bane of Mid-South winter weather, the ice storm, is in full display tonight. I darn near busted arse on the sidewalk going over to the fitness room. Once I got there, I warmed up with 3, then cranked the TM to about 7:20 pace. I could only do 2 miles at that pace, so I jogged another mile at about 9:15 pace, then cranked it back to 7:20 for another two miles. So I got my prescribed 4 miles at LT, even it it took two tries.
Schedule says 12 tomorrow. Not sure that's going to happen. May have to shuffle Wednesday's 6-mile recovery run up a day and run 12 on Wednesday, but we'll see. Maybe cruising 12 won't be that bad.
Talked an old high school mate who is getting started in running into coming out Saturday to join the Crackheads. She's planning to run the half in Little Rock in six weeks. I figured a good dose of Crackhead at Oucho's would be just the ticket for her. Surprisingly, she agreed. |
