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
