6 miles
44:40
7:27 average - mile 4 in 6:39
Was glad the rain had subsided by the time I went out at 6am. Met Tyler and Scott at my house and did a 6 mile loop. We had contemplated a little faster mile or so in the middle and we decided to toss that in at mile 4. It felt nice to clip along at that pace. I think next time I do this workout I will go for 2-4 at tempo. I am going to do a little interval day next week as well.
I still don't know what my plan is for the next couple of months before I start another training cycle in preparation for Boston. Going in to my last race, I averaged about a 7:45 pace on my "easy" runs. I think i might try and drop that down to 7:30 and see how that feels. I also think my plan of 4-5 days a week for the next couple of weeks is going to be good for me mentally. If anyone has some thoughts on how to spend the next two months of "off season" without losing too much fitness let me know. thanks.
My back felt pretty good on the run but it is definitely still sore. One of the triggers of inflamation for me is stress. I tend to live a pretty stress free life, but the weight of not having a job is starting to take a toll on me I think. It is constantly on my mind, even when I am running and it should be the furthest from my thoughts.
