Whew, almost didn't get this one in. Had football all day and by the time I got home I was tired and had a headache. I was so tempted to just stay on the couch and relax. Decided to test to see if the headache would go away. I wouldn't say it went away but didn't get worse and had a pretty good run.
Started at the house and ran down to Redwood then north up the hill past Camp Williams then cut in down to the JRP, headed south back to 2100 N then back to the house. Had some pretty good hills in the run. Still didn't try to push the pace too much but tried to run the hills well. My legs got pretty tight around mile 7. Stopped at the bathrooms and stretched them out and they were much better afterwards. I was starting to feel pretty good the last mile. I will still hold off a few more weeks before I do any real speed work.
Miles were as follows for my future reference when I run this again: 7:49,8:00,8:12 (up the big hill),7:22,7:38,7:29,7:55,7:53,7:55,7:56,7:34, last bit 6:08 pace. |
