Getting back in the groove of things

I managed get up in the morning to run today. That makes twice this week. Great success! Kamran, Asia, Chris, and I ran for about an hour. I felt a little tired at the start (due to the quick turnaround ~ workout yesterday evening), but did much better the last 35 minutes.

Tomorrow is a rest day, Saturday is a shakeout, and Sunday is make it hurt day. It's gonna hurt real bad, but it should be over quickly (less than 18 minutes).

Quotas

Track workout today (an easy one) -- I started off w/ a 2 mile warm-up, then did 10x 400m with 200m recovery in between, and finished w/ 2 down.

Splits: 86, 82, 87, 85, 83, 85, 82, 83, 82, 80

The 400's were supposed to be at 5K pace. No telling if that was or not. I didn't look at my watch while running, just tried to go off what felt like 3.1 miles pace.

I'm still not in shape like I was before I was injured, so guessing what I might run is really a crap shoot. If I have a good day on Sunday, I think I could go just below 17:30. Regardless, it should be fun.

Change of plans

I was thinking to do a workout this morning (tempo or steady), but turns out my workout running partner showed up and no longer needed the workout. Once I found out, we quickly agreed to just run easy. Kamran, Asia, and I got in about 7 easy paced miles on a nice cool/crisp spring morning.

Tomorrow, I will do a workout instead, but of a diff variety. Tune in then to see what's in store.

LR &Stuff

Ran 14 miles this morning. Ugh, it was tough. My legs were whooped. But there were not any issues w/ the injury, so I couldn't be happier. Capped the session off with some form running, strides, and gym. Tired now but ain't complaining...

I was pretty sore this morning as a result of yesterday's workout. Thus, I decided to sleep in; once I got up, took some time to loosen up before I went for a run. I got in 64 painful but easy minutes. Getting back in the groove.
