The knee is not so good so no long run today. Patella tendonits I think so I'll have to take good care of it.

Easy run with Ozzie. My knee was a little sore again but icing it yesterday made a huge difference. Hopefully only a few days of real interpution.

Rough run ... my belly gave me trouble right from the start but the knee was basically OK.

I was supposed to do 6 x 6 minutes, but I was falling apart after 4 so I quit. My gut was giving me trouble again which makes me think I might have some kind of stomach bug. Anyway I stayed out on the creek for Ozzie to finish up ... hopefully tomorrow is better.

6 x 200 on the track again. I felt OK and executed just like I wanted but my gut was about to give me problems right near the end.

Long run with Ozzie. I felt fine throughout but still had a few lingering signs of sick ... sore throat and small aches. Hopefully that is past now!

6 x 5 minutes. I finally felt good through a workout again so that is good! 

 

HR: 82 through 30 seconds, 149 through 60 seconds.

I ran OK, but I got out too slow. I think I was basically stuck in marathon pacing mode and didn't start moving until late in the race. In any event it was an OK race. I missed the first few mile splits but here is what I have:

 

4 miles: 24:02

5 miles: 5:52

6 miles: 5:35

7 miles: 5:39 

 

This was a 1:45 PR for that course so that was good but I really should have gotten out faster.  It was beautiful weather despite the prediction of rain. The wind was a bit gusty, and once you made the turn onto the highway the wind was brutal.

Easy with Ozzie in the rain??? I definitely did not race yesterday as my legs feel very little different than the day after a speed workout. Perhaps I need to do some pacing work on the track and for sure I am going to have to enter a few more 5k and 10k races to learn how to pace shorter.
