Well, I've got to say, I'm pretty happy with the way this week turned out. After just 4 miles on Tuesday and the hectic work schedule, I thought I'd be lucky to manage 40 miles. Glad this week is in the past. I ran similar to last Saturday; long warm up and long tempo. 9 miles warm up in 6:57/mile average around Wal-Mart and the HS. Started the 10 mile tempo near Holiday Inn on D Street before climbing behind Anderson Dental in Dimick. The first 3 miles were tough with 75% of it uphill. Returned back into town past Club NW, the HS, Wal-Mart and then home. Last week I felt great but today it was a struggle from the beginning. My legs just didn't have much juice but all in all, it was an okay run. Averaged 5:48/mile for the 10 miles and then a slow cool down to wrap things up. |
