Knee seems to be fine now so off to the TM for a little bit speed work after a 2 mi wu. 5 mile continuous change of pace workout 4X800 @ 6:31, 7:15, 6:28, 7:00 1600 @ 6:20 4x200 @ 6:00, 6:45, 6:00, (90 sec bathroom break),6:00, 2x400 @ 6:00,7:00 1600@ 6:15 To simplify, this could be looked at as a progression run with 5mi@ 6:53, 6:44, 6:20, 6:20, 6:15= 32:20 (6:28 AP) .5 mile cd It was hard to get going during the wu. It didn't help that I had my toddler and puppy sitting right next to the TM. I threatened my little buddy not put cars and trains on the belt. So instead he tore into a box of styrofoam then entertained himself by throwing the small balls of foam on the belt as I ran. He must have known how much I have missed running outside, so he recreated the outdoors- in. It felt like I was running in a room of snow. Quite the scenery. I can't remember the last time I challenged my regular pace in a workout, several months for sure. I kept thinking about Sasha's post on injury prevention by avoiding "hero workouts." With that in mind, I knew I shouldn't challenge the pace too much and stay realistic with my current fitness level, so kept it around half marathon-marathon pace which felt enough of a challenge for today. I'm glad I got this in, but I have a lot of work to put in before Ogden.
