Chapter 2 page 389 - TR 143 2.3 miles - easy peasy
Tonight "J" (who writes Running For My Life) and is in my half marathon class and I ran 2 laps before class (boy were were sweaty during class - sorry Eric & "Bootleg J"). We started with walking (very very quickly) for 1 lap = 1.25 miles, then we did the 2nd lap doing a leisurely 2 & 2 interval. "J" is sooo fast - dang, she's amazing (like 8-9:00 m/m for all of her runs - long, short, everything -she's going to be a super rock star half marathoner at the F4F - no doubt). For the last minute of our last running interval, I had "J" lead the pace which was about an 8:00 m/m and I kept up. I could have probably gone 2 minutes. After class, I texted "C" and she said "great job- bonus speed work" - yeah, our speed work is "J's" normal pace - S.I.G.H!!!!! Oh well, it was a lot of fun and I'm SOOO glad that things worked out and we were able to get a couple miles done. My left foot has been feeling a lot better- not completely cured, but not an 8/10 pain any more (maybe a constant 3/10). All in all - it was short, but it's a WIN. It was enjoyable - something that has mostly been lacking - especially in my long runs!!! Thanks "J"!!!

Yah ... Glad you had a fun run and that your foot is on the mend.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, I can't even fathom an 8 m/m! Way to go girl! Youmust be so proud....I would be!
ReplyDeleteSo.... you don't like the company for the long runs? I do know that the short ones are not as taxing. "L"
ReplyDeleteNice speed work! It's crazy to think that there's someone who runs at "speedwork" pace all the time, isn't it? I can't imagine how the elites run MARATHONS at 5 minute miles. I'd never be able to run even 1 minute at that pace!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the foot is healing up and feeling better.
You totally could have gone longer, you did great! I had a long comment all typed out and my computer ate it. I will come back and type it all later (running short on time now), but for now I wanted to let you know that you are awesome and I think our running together is mutually beneficial, so THANK YOU for letting me run with you! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome run! You are getting speedy, girl!
