I completed my 4-mile rest run, but felt a bit tired. My wakeup HR was 50 again, indicating my body handled the long run on Saturday ok. The canal road had 3-4 inches of snow but I ran the road anyway. After 1/2 mile, I could tell it was more work than I wanted, so I walked 1/4 mile to the next intersection and then ran on a sidewalk. My feelings of tiredness could have been from not being fully recovered from Saturday, or it could have been from running in the snow. I'll never know, but it was just a small feeling, and I completed the run ok and feel fine now. I didn't take any walking breaks on the 2 miles out but did take some on the way back.
The temperature was 33 (F) when I left and in the low 40s (F) when I returned. We'll have several days of sun, and the snow on the canal road will soon be gone.
Allen,
ReplyDeleteI just realized that you are in Utah! I am too :) I commented in your post about your 9-miler about finding a half-marathon sometime in the near future. Have you done the Salt Lake City Marathon? I'm considering training for the 1/2...
Anyhow -- I'm sorry your 4 miler today wasn't as good as it could've been.
Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteI considered running the SL half in June but decided to go with the GSL half in Clearfield in August. I'll be up to 15 miles in another 7 weeks, but I wanted some extra time to get used to the distance so I'll have some energy left over for speed. Also, the GSL half is much smaller (under 200 runners) and I like small groups.
I just finished my 8 mile medium run and felt fine.
