Tempo Run Today:

Cold outside so I went all out in the beggining and then realized I needed to slow it down to kick it in for 4miles. I felt like I expended most of my energy in the first few miles because the last miles were rough. Also I need to evaluate the course I took bc the first 3 miles is a gradual incline which killed my average pace. I felt really out of breath and low on oxygen when I kept the 8:14 ave/pace goal up that incline.

Stats:

Lap 1: 9:32 (warm up)

Lap 2: 8:09 : )

Lap 3: 8:50

Lap 4: 8:37

Lap 5: 8:16 : )

Lap 6: 9:20 (cool down)

So this week I've been having trouble with my achilles tendon and decided to take a rest day yesterday. I iced it and it seemed to do me some good bc I felt good enough to run a 4 at a steady 9min/mile pace. I'm back in the game and getting ready for a longer run tomorrow. Prob 8 so I don't over do it again!

Kevin and I went 3.76mi today : ( He was doing great, I wasn't feeling it. This tendon thing is worse than I originally thought. Still made great time however! Averaged 9:12 which is better than my time for the 11 long run I was suppossed to take! I need a REST day for sure.....Does anyone else feel like Rest days are boring???
