Wednesday:
AM: 4 miles easy. A bit warmer than usual...high 40's. Felt pretty good. With a relatively easy Monday, I was expecting feel better today.
PM: 9 miles total, 6 @ 5:33 pace (33:21 overall). High 50s. I rocked this workout, probably a bit too quickly, but I felt good so I went for it. My pace was actually faster than my 10K race, though this run was completely flat while the 10K was not. Splits (1.5 miles):
8:35, 8:08, 8:13, 8:26
Thursday:
8 miles, easy/moderate pace, high 50s. I did this run, reluctantly after waking up at 3am, going into work at 4am, and working on a very long tablet compression run. Our manufacturing facility was having issues controlling temperature, so I basically spent hours standing in a poorly breathing tyvek jumpsuit, sweating my ass off. Needless to say, I was exhausted by the end of the day.
Too bad I don't have time for excuses. I did the run anyway. My legs were not all that fresh, but I still ran at a good pace. So far, my legs are in better condition than they have been (thanks to a slightly easier week), but probably not as good as I was expecting. Once I get through this week, and knock down to 60 miles next week, I'm thinking I'll feel a bit stronger.
Gotta stay patient through these last days!
