Weather - 27 degrees, cloudy. A reasonable day for running, which was nice because I planned on doing a harder than normal workout. Ended up with 10.3 miles, 4 of which were run through 6-7 inches of snow on the golf course and through Busey Woods. When I left the snow at about mile 7 I ran 1 mile at threshold pace, and after a brief recovery I ran 8 x 40-60 second strides. I ran them fairly strong, everything felt good and in control, then I finished the run with about an 800 meter sprint. After the run I did 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 10 minute walk home. #79 |
