It was a beautiful still night, not hot, not cold, for the Team D Wednesday night track training. On my warm-up laps, I am still feeling some tenderness in my shin… it is not pain enough to prevent runnning, and more like an annoying reminder that I am starting to just accept as hanging around.
I was pretty much able to run near normal (a.k.a. slow) speeds. We did 6 x 800s; on each lap we were to run the curves at “marathon” pace, and the straight-aways at mile sprint speeds. I ended up taking those curves really, really slow, resting, but went pretty much all out on the sprints. And we had only a 2 minute breather in between. That’s 3 miles plus another mile for warm up and cool down laps.
Ow, those were hard, but somehow feels like it is doing… something. The test is seeing how well I do on a recovery run tomorrow morning.
And for what its worth, I got an extra ~ 2 mile biking this morning (big deal) as I had to ride to my wife’s office to pick up our truck. Every little bit should count, right?
