This morning we were buried by snow so I had to shovel, "well I have a 7hp five geared snow thrower, some areas I still had to shovel", rather than run outside. After I shoveled there was not time to get ready and run outside so I went downstairs and ran on the home Treadmill. I did 9.1 miles in 60 minutes. I picked up the pace each mile with tons of sweat dripping off of me. I'll have to stay a little bit after work today, because I came in a little late.
Watched the football highlights from the game last night and all the interviews from some of the players while I was running. Good job Giants beating the cheating Patriots. Lunch: The weather was sunny and everything was melting outside, but the wind gusts were terrible, and I had to run inside today anyway on the home treadmill. I did 6.23 miles on the TM. I don't remember the time, because I forgot to look before I shut the treadmill off. I did the first mile in 6:39, then the next mile in 6:17, then I did three miles under 6 minute pace. 5:56, 5:49, 5:45. The effort felt pretty hard, but I really haven't done any tempo work.. Then did the last mile at 6:40. My right Achillies tendon is sore ever since my fall on Saturday. I twisted my right foot when it happened, and its been sore from right when I got up from the fall. I might reduce my running to once a day until the soreness heals. I will incorporate more stretching when I head out in the mornings, and try to apply ice when I can. |
