Redemption Runs
OK, Two very strong days of running in a row. Very encouraging. Yesterday, I did a really tough workout with Jacki which consists of running moderate pace up a slight hill, then taking off full speed for one minute when you reach the top of the hill. Each repeat was about 600 meters. We did 7 of those with 600m jog recovery. With warmups, cooldowns, etc. 8.5 miles for the day. Today, I ran a really strong 10 miles at around 6:33 pace in a warm, rainy and windy "60" degrees. I kept getting stronger and stronger as the run progressed. Then the last mile I ran in 6:01 as I watched and raced the cold front coming in!!! The temperature dropped from 60 to 47 within an hour. And now, just a few hours later, it is 32 with a 19 windchill. I have no post-injury symptoms at all. So, tomorrow is an Octane recovery day. Roughly 26 miles for the week. Not really looking forward to going in to work tomorrow. I have stuff that I needed to get done this weekend, but I just couldn't get to any of it... But, the Colts have won once again! Today, they looked like the Colts of two years ago, where they couldn't stop the run and let the other team hang on to the football.
