HMT - Day 6 (3 Miles), Day 7 (8 Miles) and Day 8 (OFF - Cross Train)

Day 6 - The training schedule only called for 3 miles ... but i'll tell you ... being the 6th day in a row working out ... and after my friday cross training session (I felt that for sure!), my legs weren't excited about running even something as little as 3 miles.  Thankfully I had support and motivation!  But wowza ... that was rough!  Also, I've been fighting a slight cold all week, I knew getting up and doing some small amount of cardio would be helpful to my immune system, just hoping I didn't overdo it.

Ran 3.04 miles in 28:17, pace 9:18 min/mile


Day 7 - I felt much better this morning after taking last night pretty easy.  My friend made me pastina in chicken broth for dinner, amazing how much that stuff helps!  I felt good, so I took the legs out to Central Park.  I did all right, I ran 7.5 miles in 1 hour 12 mins, I usually run it 2 minutes faster, but i'm not complaining, I felt good at the end of the run instead of dead tired, which is good.  I'll take that as an indicator that I could have gone for longer and been fine....  does that mean i could have gone for 10 miles?!?!?!  But again, I knew I had a slight cold, didn't wanna push it.  I did what felt good, hopefully my legs continue to feel good.

Ran 7.5 miles in 1:12:10, pace 9:37 min/mile


Day 8 - Feel good, eh???  Yeah, I woke up this morning and my hips and quads were tiiiiiggggghhhhhht!  I also have a 7AM TRX session with my trainer.  I had a feeling this morning was gonna HURT, and it did. HAAAA!!!!!  Thank goodness for tylenol before a workout.  Dreading tomorrow's run a little ...

Just when i was learning to enjoy a good run .... LMAO
