Well, it took me until Friday to begin to feel just a little better after Sunday's half marathon. Actully, I started to feel feisty again on Thursday afternoon after a massage but put off getting back to running until Friday morning.
Hal's plan for Friday (originally Wednesday) - 6 easy miles. Vic's plan for Friday - 3 easy, 2 somewhere between easy and 10K effort, and 1 easy (cooldown). I wanted to run just a couple of miles at a little faster pace, hopefully to shake out any remaining cobwebs. The stats for the run:
Total distance - 6.0 miles
Total time - 1:21:37
Mile 1 - 13:56
Mile 2 - 13:47
Mile 3 - 13:48
Mile 4 - 13:10
Mile 5 - 12:59
Mile 6 - 13:54
Average pace - 13:36
Temperature - 47 degrees
Humidity - 63%
The weather was so nice. Very cool and crisp. Running is never boring, is it? This morning I was reminded that when the temps drop, it takes a lot longer to warm up. In my opinion, that makes the warmup and cool down even more important.
So, I'm feeling pretty good. Although I mised a 3-mile run this week, I'm not fretting. I could do it today, no problem, but I want to be fresh for tomorrow's 13-miler. I'm concentrating today on eating properly and resting. Besides, our family has a soccer tournament (at least 2 games), another soccer game for the little one, and 2 basketball games (1 for the youngest and middle child). Fun-filled day!!!
