Hello all. I did not get my weekend runs posted so I am yet again writing a double blog. This weekend was truly an easy run weekend. My long run on Saturday dropped back to a 9 mile and Sunday was only a 4 mile run.
Saturday's run was to be a 10 mile easy run, but with all of the commitments of the day, I could only squeeze in 9 miles. I was cool (40 degrees) when I got to he dam to run. I did not do the "ascent", but I did run the usual loop which has a couple of decent sized hills. My hope is that all of the hill training will make me that much stronger on race day. The run was pretty uneventful. There was a point at about mile 3 where I took a step and had a sharp pain shoot through my right knee. The intense pain only last a step or 2 and all of the pain was gone within a quarter mile. I was a little concerned. I did not want to have come this far, only to get injured.
Sunday I kinda cheated on my run. I met a friend at a local high school track to run. She is getting ready to take the physical portion of a test for a local police department and wanted to run some splits (1/4 miles). I agreed. We did a couple of intense splits (under 2 minute 1/4 miles) and then spent the balance of the distance walking. I would have felt guilty if it was not for the pain on my run the day before and the fact that I have only missed 1 of my 45 required runs to this point. Needless to say, we had a great time and solved many of the worlds problems.
Tomorrow is another Quality 8 miles. I am planning on running 8 Yasso 800's. Blog at everyone later.
Peace,
