Running resumed when I got back to Florida on Friday. I did a challenging 4-mile descending progression run Friday morning; six hot and humid miles yesterday after sleeping in and letting the temps rise.
Today I woke early and started on my 15 mile scheduled run at 6:20 a.m. I knocked off 3.5 miles before reaching downtown to run with the Sunday pack. Most of them were friskier than me because they were going shorter distances I succumbed to running a mile then walking a minute throughout.
Chris joined me on the latter half of the run when the shorties dropped off. We averaged 11 minute miles for the morning which suited me, just because I was able to get it done. As the training ramps up, I expect "today's" long run to get easier and the 20-plussers to be more of a pain.
I think 20 plussers are always a pain. I suppose they make the marathon a bit more tolerable though.
ReplyDeletecan you come to dallas and train with me on the weekends? i'm soooo slow right now and I need a pacer.
ReplyDeleteat first i thought you said your "SHORTS DROPPED OFF"
ReplyDeletethat would have been a much better story!
Good job on your 15!!!
do you find the run 1 mile, walk 1 minute routine helps?
"shorties" that makes me laugh to think I'd be in that group, and be 6'2.
ReplyDeleteI wish we were running the Blessing of the Fleet tonight. Maybe next year?!? Have a wonderful weekend David.
