It’s been 14 days since my last sustained running workout (over 1.25 miles). Since then, I’m weighing in at 167.5 pounds to start (5 lbs below last gym weigh-in for a longer run) and 166 pounds to finish.
Today’s workout was 7 miles in 1:04:14 (9’11″ pace). Constant level 4 pain, aching, but no sharp pain. My back is a little tight now, and I have a slight limp going. No medication during the run, though, and things feel significantly better than from my 1.25 mile attempt last week.
Was able to pick up tempo to 8’00″ miles with ease at end–actually felt easier than the slower pace.

- I ran 15 miles at sub-9 pace the hard way #running #twit2fit (and on the treadmill at 11pm) I decided that I'd do a progressive workout, starting @ 6.0 mph (10'00") and going to 7.4 mph (8'06"?), by 0.1 mph increments per mile. I have the speed to run 6'30" intervals, but I'm still hesitant to push for a sub-9 pace long......
- Streak, Day 5: 2.81 miles in 27'01" #twit2fit Yesterday was a "tempo" day--a 1 mile tempo. Maybe that's an interval.
