Went out for a very easy walk/run. The hip is feeling a bit better but still sore. I started out walking for about 30 feet then jogged. It felt good to run so I continued at a 10:00 pace just trying to stretch things out. At 1 mile mark I pushed the pace a little more to 8:19 pace for the 2nd mile. The 3rd mile I pulled back a bit to 8:30. I am going to continue to take it easy this week and hope to get back on track for next week.
I decided for sure to run Painter's Half. I am going to train different this time, getting some longer runs in prior to the race. Between the Marathon and the Half I really didn't do much as far as long runs. I feel that I need to get at least 3-4 runs over 15 miles in this time to improve my endurance. The speed is coming along alright I just need to be able to hold it for a longer distance without getting exhausted. |
