14 easy miles solo. This was an interesting run for me. I didn't feel 100%, and by 100% I mean the kind of feeling I should feel this deep in my training. I don't expect to feel spry right now, but I had some weird aches this morning. Most likely they can all be attributed to yesterday's mile repeats. Around 6.5 my left quad started hurting. It was not an unfamiliar pain so I kept on going and just concentrated on not using my quads too much. Incidentally, my quad loosened up and I didn't feel it anymore. However, both my hips started to get a little achy. I had some left hip pain back in January that lasted a while, but I have not felt anything in the hip area for some time. Once again, I think the hip aches were due to yesterday's repeats. Around mile 12 my hips were feeling a little better but were still sore. I came to a little downhill and let gravity take control for a bit. I was doing a 6:11 when I looked at my watch. That was only about .1 of a mile and then it flattened out again. By the time I hit the flat my hips felt great and I finished out the run. Sometimes a little speed cures things I guess. 1 | 7:58.3 | 1.00 | 7:58 | 2 | 7:59.2 | 1.00 | 7:59 | 3 | 7:49.4 | 1.00 | 7:49 | 4 | 7:52.8 | 1.00 | 7:53 | 5 | 7:39.7 | 1.00 | 7:40 | 6 | 7:33.9 | 1.00 | 7:34 | 7 | 7:45.7 | 1.00 | 7:46 | 8 | 7:43.3 | 1.00 | 7:43 | 9 | 7:39.4 | 1.00 | 7:39 | 10 | 7:42.5 | 1.00 | 7:42 | 11 | 7:45.2 | 1.00 | 7:45 | 12 | 7:32.9 | 1.00 | 7:33 | 13 | 7:41.4 | 1.00 | 7:41 | 14 | 7:30.2 | 1.00 | 7:31 |
