8.05 miles in the morning.
16 miles in the afternoon and evening.
I was going to run a little more last night but the long drive home led to being tired. I also had to shovel about a foot of snow in our driveway. Oh well! I got to bed early and it was much needed. I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and ready to go. It was nother nice 8 miler. Nothing to exciting.
I did a mini tempo run with the distance runners today. I had them do a 15 minute warmup and then 30 minutes right around 6:30/mile pace with a 8 minute cooldown. The roads were not in that great of condition so I was pleased with the effort today. Some of the team was really pushing each other which was nice to see.
I hurried up to the indoor track at Weber State for my second workout with Paul Pilkington. I did a 3 mile warmup and then he had me do 16 x 400m @ 70 sec. with 1:30 recovery in between. I jogged a minute and then walked 30 sec. He had me run in lane 5 so their was tape on the track to show me exactly how far I needed to go. On the first 9 400s I was killing myself to get under 70 sec. I then realized that I was going an extra 20 meters! The last 7 were not to bad since I really pushed myself the first 9. Live and learn. I then did a 1 mile cooldown and hustled home to get some grub in me. I was hungry! Today was a big workout day. My legs are a little sore so I got to bed quick. |
