I may need to switch to my cushioned shoes to shake it up a bit. Which is worse, sore calves or sore glutes? Glutes feel worse to me, so I wear my minimal shoes!
Monday...
blah day... no running...
Tuesday.
The sun was shining and I felt all better. This fall weather has been amazing. I don't recommend doing speed work after 2 days of no running. I warmed up the first half mile, but it wasn't enough for me to feel like I was on my legs. Oh well. We keep going! I did 5 miles of speed. I did half at 5k speed maybe (I don't really know what my 5k pace is), then half rest pace. I need to experiment with my Garmin a bit. I thought I new how to do manual laps (other than a mile), but I don't so I had to separate out each 800m.
Wednesday.
Today I was waiting for the FedEx truck. It was one of those days you are afraid to go anywhere because you don't want to miss your delivery. I had to sign for it. I thought it wouldn't come until later in the day, but thought with my luck if I left for a run, my delivery would come!
So, I ran up and down my street!
Speed work again? In between my 800's I came in and did weights and situps etc.
I did one last set at 8 pace.
I felt a little silly running past the guy who was washing his car... I shouldn't but I did a little!
He was totally still washing cars like 3 hours later! That's dedication/obsession.
AND the FedEx guy didn't come until after the kids got home
Thursday.
Tempo run. This was a good run. My goal was to go 7. Do 2 @ 8, then 3 @ 7:15 pace, then 2 @ 8. My last temp the middle 3 were at 7:15-ish I think. I exceeded my goal, even with 2 days previous speed work! Maybe that means I didn't push hard enough on my speed workout?!
Friday.
I chose to ride today. Again with this weather! I didn't give myself too much time, spent time working. Always so glad to get out. I'm in love with this fall.
Supposed to do a LR today... didn't.
Monday?
