Saturday's 5 mile run at the "Y" was great! I did it in about 1 hr & 5 mins. Monday's 5 mile run also felt great. Did that one in 1 hr 6 mins exactly. Did I mention BOTH of those runs felt great???
Logically, I was looking forward to another great run. I stretched as usual, then set "The Toy" for 2:1 run/rest intervals and took off. Felt like I was going in slo-mo--I couldn't pick up my feet for anything and it seemed the 1 min rest intervals were only 30 seconds in length! After 2 miles, I wanted to quit. Then I realized "I am a marathoner" & kept going to just over 5 miles & did it in 1 hr 8 mins. My calves, ankles & achilles tendons were sore!
I took a cold bath for only a few minutes because the shivering & clattering of my teeth pulled rank over my poor feet & calves need for relief. But the hot water felt heavenly (ahhh). TGIF (yay, rest day!) and we're doing (*gulp*) 6 miles Saturday! Happy Day of Rest! :)
