No double on Thursday. No run on Friday either. So I got up at dawn today and did 6, up Stultz and Robbins to Wagon Wheel, then back down Silent Grove. The pump station was particularly pungent. The early start meant I had shade, even though there were zero clouds, so that was good, and it was in the high 70s. I didn't have a whole lot of energy (shoulda had those Pop-tarts), but I persisted and wound up with a 9:44 average. AHR was 140, pretty close to goal. I'd call it on OK run, not great. I don't think there are any great runs in July.
Trying to decide my schedule for next week, what with the trip to Arizona. I'll plan to get back on Hudson's schedule tomorrow and do 7. Probably a short run Monday morning before going to the airport. Have some free time Tuesday, so I'll run along the canal in Phoenix at dawn. Might skip Wednesday due to early start of class, or maybe run on the dreadmill in the evening, then run Thursday night after I get back. I'm porbably too OCD to stick with the three-day Hudson schedule, even as the mileage for the three starts to build. I feel like I need more mileage than that, although I'll plan for more rest days than I have done in prior cycles. |
