Ran to and from SHS for mile repeats on the track. Five reps ranging from 7:37 to 7:22. As usual, the first one was the slowest; even 2.5 miles didn't get me warmed up. Probably could have done a sixth rep, but why? Don't overdo it with 10 days to Memphis, but give the muscles something to adapt to and reinforce last Saturday's race effort.
Today took me over 12,000 miles since I became a runner again 6.5 years ago. If you had told me then I'd run halfway around the world in this time, I would have been dumbfounded. Or told you you were nuts. Yet here I am. The body has held up pretty well. So has the motivation for the most part.
From here on I just take it easy before Memphis. Will I go 3:2x? Doubtful. But I'm going to try.
