Sunday was my long run day for last week. I ran 11 total miles in two consecutive segments. I first ran 7.5 miles out to the nearby park and back home where Liz had some water waiting for me. I quickly drank the water and got back underway for the final 3.5 mile segment. The first part of the run is very hilly. I struggled to keep pace at around 9 min/mile on my legs that were feeling heavy. The last part of the run was flat and I put down 8:30 per mile. My legs recovered pretty quckly once I got home and stretched. They felt great today. My total mileage for last week was 27.
Today is a SRD. I will be running 7 miles tomorrow morning (gulp), followed by a speed workout on Wednesday, and another 7 on Thursday as I tune up for Saturdays 15 mile run. I am looking forward to the warmer weather coming later this week.
