Week #9 was an impromptu rest week to recover from some general pain and minor leg injuries.
- 3.1 miles - a tempo run, 0.5mi 'on' and 0.5mi 'off', where even the 'off' stretches were fast for me. I did the 5K in 28:40, which for my asthmatic butt AND on an injury is pretty good.
- The 3.5 miler was supposed to be 5-6 miles, but I had an asthma attack. I blame allergies. Stupid tree sex.
- So, my 8.8 miler. I wanted to get in a long slow run, but I also really wanted this to be a REST week because if I don't HEAL I'm not going to be able to run this race. So I set the interval timer on my wristwatch, and did 5 minutes of jogging / 1 minute walking, for 90 minutes. It was enough of a workout that I still feel relatively accomplished this week, but hopefully it wasn't so harsh of a strain on my calves that I got into more trouble.
Although that marks the end of Resting. The race is officially 5 weeks of training away!
This week's goals:
- 10.5 miles, outside
- 20 miles total
