I was going to run early, but I ended up staying up way to late with our church have a set of revival meetings and getting ready for my Sunday lesson. I knew it was going to get warm later, but I figured it was only 5 miles so I will just run in the afternoon. Ran down to the local high school track (about a mile) and wanted to get a little track work in. The doc said I could do a little speed work and he stressed that, leaving me the famous works of 'don't be a knuckle head' (and Kelli and Preston reminded me of that very same thing). SO what is safe? I figured just 4x400 repeats with 200 jogs would be fair enough. I knew I didn't want to go all out, but maybe just below 5k pace since I am sure my fitness is not where it was or I want it. Ok it was hot- 88 degrees and humid. Blah, and on the track I could feel the heat on my feet through my shoes. Splits 1:28, 1:29, 1:30, 1:30 and I am sure I could have thrown a few more in, however, mission accomplished and I feel for the most part fine. I really want that feeling to stay the same. |
