The recovery starts here.  Warm up then core work out (200m then 14 x pushups, situps & supermen, then 200m and 15 step ups on each leg, 15 lunches on each leg, and 15 squats…then 200m….you get the idea), then some running drill stuff, and then back to base.  I will ache tomorrow…

As predicted I ache all over today.  A sign that I am weak (physically, and also mentally for not doing more core which I why I ache so much ;o).

Tough workout this morning.  Warm and humid.  I knew it was going to be 2,400 meters at a hard effort and then relays.  If I were in shape then I’d have been shooting for 8:45ish.  However, I am not in shape.  Instead I set myself the goal of 9:30, and 9:15 if I felt good on the day.  I started out conservatively, and then sped up on lap 2, and then went for it on lap 3.  I came home in 9:16.  Normally I’d be very dissapointed, but if I can run that when I am this out of shape and running 30 miles a week.  It will be a long, hard road back to form.  However, I’ve taken the first steps.  I just hope I can keep it going until Austin next February!

Hot and humid morning.  However, I was determined to have a better run that last week.  Slow start to the run, and then solid middle, and picked it up a little at the end for exactly 8 min/mile average pace.  About 45 seconds per mile better than last week.  The comeback continues ;o).
