Sunday, 10/17/10--Like last week, I took a circuitous route to get to Penn Oaks. I took part of the Rustin-plus loop and came out at the south entrance. Felt pretty good. 9.0 miles
October 16, 2010--
Today I decided to forgo a tempo run and opted instead for 5x1000 on the cross country course across the street from my house. The time was noonish, and I had just gotten home from my daughter's soccer game in Harleysville. Admittedly, my legs did not feel fresh and I was concerned about the tightness in my left hamstring, a problem area for me historically. I would be, after all, negotiating a somewhat hilly, grassy terrain. I figured I'd take full recovery (about 3:30) between each one. My goal pace was 3:15, 10 seconds faster than my goal pace.
1000 #1: 3:25
1000 #2: 3:12
1000 #3: 3:17
1000 #4: 3:12
1000 #5: 3:10
The average amounted to 3:15+. The last one nearly broke me, as I had little left. I guess I should have eaten more than just a banana for breakfast. Lesson learned?!
10/10-10/16--37.25 miles
