I am pleased to have a new runner to join the team. Not only was she a cross country runner in high school she continues to run 6 miles a day. So this past Saturday she wasted no time hitting her 9 minute mile stride. I felt like I was standing still watching an airplane take off from a runway. Why did I try to catch up with her?! About a mile into a six mile run, reality quickly set in and I lowered my pace so I could stop hyperventilating. Although I exerted way too much energy in the beginning, I did finish without stopping and maintained a decent pace.
We ran at 8am. I worked out prior to running (free weights: shoulders/traps). I felt much better than I did after running 6 miles last Saturday. This week is a semi-rest week My schedule is Sun-rest, Mon, Tues, Friday & Saturday-3 miles; Wed-4 miles; Thu-Rest. Speed and time will be my focus along with lifting weights (quads, hams).
Diet details forthcoming.
