I ran intervals on Tuesday. 4 X 1200. It's a learning curve to read my own body and understand what a good pace feels like. My first interval was too fast and I was unable to maintain the pace for the full 1200. All of the intervals were hard to maintain. Todays mileage 3.54/total 18.44
I ran my 5 mile tempo on the treadmill on Thursday. It was a bit less frustrating because I 1. watched tv while running and 2. turned the fan on high. I still find it more difficult than being outside, but given the weather it was a good choice. Total 23.44
Long run on Sunday. Started in Newton with the intent of running back to Hesston. But a weather front rolled in as we were starting out. The wind turned and was coming out of the West/North, and the temp dropped significantly. We turned around at the 4.5 mile and turned around and headed back into town. I really started to struggle after the 8 mile mark, with very tight glutes and calves. I managed to make it back to our start point. Ended up with 9.5 miles Total 32.44
Goal for next week is to make sure I add in the cross training. I've been slacking on cross training and that needs to change.
