Today was just a plain old easy run with the Dog. I've felt I need to take some easy runs in rather than trying to come-back so fast from St. George and do faster runs. Which I started doing some faster runs after STG, and I don't feel my legs are back at peak performance yet. I think next week I'll start to do some faster runs if I'm going to run the Silicon Valley Marathon on November 4th. I still don't know yet.
Anyway I ran 8 miles this morning at a 7:13 pace at 35 degrees. I did two sets of 200m strides. It felt kind of nice to run at a slower pace. I think sometimes I always want to push, but your body does need time to heal from a marathon. Lunch: I ran on the treadmill at home and did 3.4 miles. First mile in 7:30 and gradually increased the speed where I did the last mile at 6:45. To me it always seems that the treadmill is harder to run on than running outside.. |
